“…MAFs comprise 12%–30% of all mandibular fractures [ 8 ]. MAFs most commonly occur in 26–40-year-old individuals (69.7%) followed by 18–25-year-olds (30.3%) [ 14 ]. Such a high incidence rate is due to the presence of curvature at this site, presence of impacted third molars, mandibular height, thinner cross-sectional area, low bone density, and changed orientation of the trabecular pattern of bone in this region [ 5 , 15 , 16 ].…”

“…In an observational study conducted by Koshy et al [ 14 ], it was demonstrated through the Pell and Gregory model that mandible fractures occur more commonly in distoangular B and A mandibular third molars when compared with other classifications. Besides, this traditional classification is routinely used in dentistry practice for predicting the difficulty level of extracting impacted lower third molars [ 15 ].…”

Iatrogenic mandible fractures are rare complications from third molar removal surgeries. While most documented cases stress risk factors inherent to the patient and tooth presentation in fractures’ etiology, appreciation of the risk factors underlying the practitioner’s skills is scarce. Here, we describe an intraoperative fracture in a healthy 26-year-old female resulting from an incompatible surgical technique during the right mandibular third molar removal. The patient showed facial swelling, pain, malocclusion, and significant mobility of the fractured segment. The surgical management involved an intraoral open reduction with the installation of titanium plates for the fixation of the bone segments. Thus, we highlight that acknowledging the extent of the operator’s surgical skills should be part of comprehensive treatment planning, serving as a valuable measure to prevent iatrogenic mandible fractures besides avoiding a traumatic experience for the patient.
