OBJECTIVE To estimate the relative risk of mandibular angle fractures among people with a lower third molar compared with those without a lower third molar. METHODS Data for a case-control meta-analysis were obtained by performing a literature search in MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify suitable observational studies. To be included, studies had to present data on patients with mandibular fractu...

ABSTRACT
 Background: Mandibular fractures comprise a large portion of facial injuries. According to comprehensive series published, 17.5 - 52% mandibular are condyle fractures. With the development plate and screw systems, open reduction internal rigid fixation have also become methods that accepted. Titanium miniplate systems or resorbable used for this purpose. The purpose study is comp...

OBJECTIVE The fractures of facial structures lead to great morbidity. Cross-sectional studies are needed to evaluate the current state of maxillofacial traumas. Thus, this study aims to evaluate these experiences and to compare these results with the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of the maxillofacial fracture cases hospitalized between January 2004 and November...

The bifid mandibular condyle is a rare anomaly. A variety of causes are implicated with its development such as developmental origin and trauma. Because of the lack of epidemiological data, there is little information about the real incidence of this malformation. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of bifid mandibular condyle in a 20-year-old woman who referred to a private radiologi...

RATIONALE Precise bony reduction and reconstruction of optimal contour in treating comminuted mandibular fractures is very difficult using traditional techniques and devices. The aim of this report is to introduce our experiences in using virtual surgery and three-dimensional (3D) printing technique in treating this clinical challenge. PATIENT CONCERNS A 26-year-old man presented with severe ...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this project was to report the complications associated with mandibular angle fractures and identify variables affecting their occurrence. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with a mandibular angle fracture treated at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec between 2009 and 2013. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients (73 males) aged 15-59 years ...

BACKGROUND The craniofacial region is one of the most frequently injured parts of the body, and mandibular fracture is one of the commonest facial skeletal injuries. The most frequent causes of mandibular fractures are the traumas related to traffic accidents, falls, interpersonal violence, and sports activities, etc. METHODS Seven hundred fifty-three cases (615 male, 138 female; megan age 36...

Previous studies have shown that impacted mandibular third molars (M3s) increase the risk of mandibular angle fractures and decrease the risk of mandibular condylar fractures. This study attempted to verify these relationships and identify the influence of mechanism and cause of injury. The incidence of fractures was compared in 700 patients with and without impacted M3s. The results showed tha...

A clinical study to evaluate unilateral application of 10 holes dynamic compression plates (DCPs) for the treatment of bilateral fracture of the mandible insingle-humped camels. Six cases of typical mandibular fractures in the dromedary camel were treated by unilateral application of 3.5 mm 10holes DCP. Restrained of camels was performed with deep sedation using xylazine hydrochloride and ketam...

Mandibular fractures in association with the insertion of endosseous dental implants have been reported in the literature. In this clinical case report, the nonsurgical management of a mandibular fracture with the use of a bar restoration is described and a 3-year follow-up is presented. The options for nonsurgical treatment are discussed.
