Mandibular condylar neck fractures and subcondylar fractures represent, respectively, 19-29% and 62-70% of all mandibular fractures; treatment involves some problems, common to both, concerning the choice of an adequate approach. Herewith, personal experience is reported related to the surgical treatment of some cases of mandibular condylar neck and subcondylar fractures by transparotid approac...

BACKGROUND Mandibular displacement is a common complication of condylar fracture. In the mandibular displacement due to condylar fracture, it is difficult to restore both esthetics and function without using orthognathic surgery. CASE DESCRIPTION This clinical report described a full mouth rehabilitation in the patient with bilateral condylar fractures and displaced mandible using bilateral s...

mandibular fractures are among the most common facial injuries. this case report demonstrates the efficacy of simultaneous usage of miniscrews and direct bonding techniques without open reduction in an extensive traumatized patient. a 25-year-old girl with multiple injuries in the head and facial region 1 month after a plane crash accident was referred to manage the mandibular fractures. due to...

Mandibular fracture treatments are to improve the patients function and aesthetics, but it is not uncommon that postoperative complications be present. Postoperative include surgical site infection, nonunion, malunion, malocclusion, nerve injury, scar tissue, Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), as well dental problem. This literature review aimed understand describe of mandibular fractures...

IMPORTANCE There are no uniform treatments, standards, and specifications for conservative and surgical management of mandibular fractures in children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE To review the management of mandibular fractures in children and adolescents at our institution. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The medical records of 104 children and adolescents (60 male and 44 female) treated ...

Horses can acquire cheek teeth (CT) fractures through many mechanisms, including external trauma, e.g. as a result of kicks, biting inanimate objects and crib biting. These traumatic fractures mainly occur in the anatomically more susceptible rostral mandibular CT. Fractures to CT can also be caused by iatrogenic trauma during dental treatments, such as cutting tall CT overgrowths with dental “...

e report a simple and effective way of reducing a rossly-displaced, bilaterally-fractured mandible with a acuum-formed thermoplastic splint. This allowed simple nd precise reduction and enabled plating of the fracture sites xtraorally. The use of the dental occlusion as a guide is one of the most asic concepts in the management of mandibular fractures, nd operative maxillomandibular fixation (M...

PURPOSE In this retrospective study, we analyzed immediate and late mandibular fractures after impacted lower third molar surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred fifty oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the north of- France were questioned about their experience with intraoperative and late mandibular fracture after third molar surgery. Cases were examined clinically and radiographically. ...

PURPOSE Our goal was to study the use of 2.0-mm miniplates for the fixation of mandibular fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Records of 191 patients who experienced a total of 280 mandibular fractures that were treated with 2.0-mm miniplates were reviewed. One hundred twelve of those patients, presenting 160 fractures, who attended a late follow-up were also clinically evaluated. Miniplates were...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between magnetic resonance (MR) evidence of joint effusion and concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, in washed-out synovial fluid samples obtained from patients with mandibular condyle fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five joints in 23 patients with mandibular condyle frac...
