“…A previous study evaluated mandibular fracture cases in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of Lanzhou University between 2011 and 2015 and demonstrated that patients in the third decade of life yielded a high incidence of injury. 11 Similarly, another study reported that the highest incidence of mandibular fractures (49.3%) occurred in the 21–30 years age group. 12 …”

“…Motorcycle accidentrelated mandibular fractures are mainly observed in the symphysis and parasymphysis regions. 11,19 Assault was the most common cause of mandibular fractures in developed countries [20][21][22] and the mandibular angle was the most common site. 22 The most frequent two-fracture combination in this current study was an angle fracture and a symphysis and parasymphysis fracture.…”

Objective To analyse the epidemiology of mandibular fractures and the correlation between combined fractures during a 10-year period in central Taiwan. Methods This retrospective study analysed data collected from the medical records of patients that had mandibular fractures between January 2007 and October 2017. Data on age, sex, cause of injury, anatomical site of fracture, treatment and complications were obtained and analysed. Results A total of 265 patients who received treatment were included in the study. The mean ± SD age was 30.08 ± 13.47 years (range, 6–70 years) and the 21–30 years age group showed the highest incidence of mandibular fractures. The male-to-female ratio was 1.25:1. Road traffic accidents were the most common cause of fracture (206 of 265; 77.74%). The symphysis and parasymphysis area was the most common fracture site (169 of 420; 39.29%). Single-site fracture represented slightly more than 50% of the total 420 fractures. The most frequent combination of two fractures was an angle fracture combined with a symphysis and parasymphysis fracture (29 of 106 double fracture patients [27.36%]). There was a weak positive association between several combinations of fractures. Conclusions A better understanding of the influence of age and sex on the mechanism of injury is of great clinical importance in the assessment and diagnosis of fractures.

“…The leading cause of the condyle fractures is the fragility in the neck region due to its thin bony thickness. In comparison, the mandibular angle is quite thick, but furtherly weakened by the emergence of bone segments with different densities as the angle is estimated to be the line where the ramus and body meet 5 , 6 . Several investigations have intensely focused on the mandibular third molar M3s as a research spot in relation to the fractures of the mandibular angle and condyle.…”

This study aimed to analyze the relationship of the occlusal support together with the lower third molars to the mandibular fractures of the angle and condyle among patients in our medical institutions. This was a retrospective study that reviewed the medical records and radiographs of all patients treated for mandibular fractures from 2015 to 2019. The data collected by using picture archiving and communicating system. Only records with mandibular angle or condyle fractures were included. The dependent variable was the presence of the fractures of the mandibular angle or condyle. The independent variables were epidemiological data, third molar characteristics, existence or absence of occlusal support. The data was analyzed through Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression. From a total of 187 mandibular fractures, 44 presented mandibular angle fracture and 29 shown condyle fractures. The average age was 40.34 ± 13.47 years. The absence of occlusal support increased the chance of condyle fractures by 5.1 times (95% CI 1.61–17.29). The lack of occlusal support is more associated with condyle fractures than the presence of occlusal support, regardless of third molar presence and characteristics and other variables evaluated.

The mandibular bone is an important component of the facial bone, which has a unique role in digestive system, speech, and facial esthetics. For these important functions of mandibular bone, it is vital that surgeons should not only treat function but also consider the esthetics together. Mandibular fractures are among the most common traumatic injuries of the maxillofacial region. Even though treatment modalities are well established and being practiced for a long time, untreated and postoperative complications still decrease the patient's quality of life. This chapter aims to describe the cause, clinical presentations, diagnoses, and current treatment methods on the basis of resent literature.
