OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to estimate how is the magnitude of the impact of a mandibular third molar on the mandibular angle stiffness. STUDY DESIGN It was performed a literature search on whole MEDLINE and LILACS data base to find articles that match the following inclusion criteria: cohort studies presenting data on patients with mandibular fractures and third molars; that had ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of different types of fixation in the enhancement of posttraumatic inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) recovery in displaced mandibular angle fracture and to establish. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty patients of displaced mandibular angle fracture were treated with preangulated plate and three-dimensional (3D) matrix plate in two gr...

Thirty-seven children younger than age eleven who had incurred mandibular fractures were studied. Age, sex, type of fracture, incidence, etiology, treatment methods, and complications were examined.

Pathological fractures of the mandible are rare, comprising 1-2% of this injuries. the aim of the study was to analyse demographic data, etiology, site and treatment procedures of pathological mandible fractures. material and methods. The retrospective study comprised 17 patients (10 males and 7 females) with pathological mandible fracture. Upon the basis of the medical documentation, demograph...

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of three dimensional (3D) stainless steel miniplates in anterior mandibular fractures and to compare the use of three dimensional (3D) miniplates with Champy‟s miniplates and assess the bone healing post-operatively in both and to evaluate the complications associated with the use of 3D miniplates.Total 20 Patients were selected for this prospect...

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between post and core build-up materials on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with different onlay restorations. METHODS 60 mandibular molars were endodontically treated and divided into three experimental groups that received one of the following onlay restorations: gold onlays, glass ceramic onlays (Empress I), or resin ...

IMPORTANCE Classically, pterygoid plate fractures have been associated with fractures of the mid-face and skull base. When isolated pterygoid plate fractures are identified on imaging that only extends to the level of the skull base, other related facial fractures may be missed. We sought to evaluate isolated lateral pterygoid plate fractures on computed tomography (CT) scans in conjunction wit...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of reducing tooth preparation and ceramic thickness on fracture resistance of lithium disilicate crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimen preparation included a standard complete crown preparation of a typodont mandibular left first molar with an occlusal reduction of 2 mm, proximal/axial wall reduction of 1.5 mm, and 1.0 mm deep chamfer (Group A). Another typo...

A total of 45 mandibular fracture patients with 54 teeth in the fracture line were evaluated retrospectively. One tooth in the fracture line was lost in the accident, 6 were extracted later and 47 could be saved (87%). At the follow-up examination 38% of the teeth were diagnosed to have pulp necrosis, which was found more frequently in the older patients and in cases in which the time elapsing ...
