Mandibular fracture is usually the clinical end of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. This is a painful complication and patients cannot feed as usual, with a worsening of their quality of life. The goal of treatment in bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of jaw (BRONJ) patients is to slow progression of bone necrosis. We present a novel technique for treatment of severe mandibul...

A retrospective study was undertaken to assess mandibular fractures presenting over the period 1977-1985 in Dundee, Scotland. The data collected included age, sex, aetiology, month in which injury occurred, anatomical site of fracture, associated maxillofacial trauma and treatment modalities. The majority of fractures were sustained by males in the age group 20 to 29 years. Assault was the majo...

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the patterns associated with adult mandibular fractures from a Level-I trauma center in southern Taiwan. Methods: The data of adult trauma patients admitted between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2014 were retrieved from the Trauma Registry System and retrospectively reviewed. Fracture site and cause of injury were categorized into groups for comparison, a...

BACKGROUND Rehabilitation using an implant supported overdenture with two implants inserted in the interforaminal region is the easiest and currently accepted treatment modality to increase prosthetic stabilization and patient satisfaction in edentulous patients. The insertion of implants to the weakend mandibular bone decreases the strength of the bone and may lead to fractures either during o...

After clinical and radiographic examinations, a bilateral mandibular fracture at the caudal par...

Abstract Vertical root fractures are more commonly encountered following endodontic treatment and in teeth without treatment, with habits like bruxism eating coarse, hard food. The most predisposed to fracture the premolars of maxilla mandible, mesial roots mesiobuccal mandibular molars, maxillary molars incisors. Timely identification cracked is key since it permits a conservative preventive a...
