Fractures de la mandibule

Abstract

The mandible has been reported to be one of the most fractured bone in human. Several factors are involved in mandible fracture such as anatomy and biomechanisms. Long-term studies show a progressive increase in the incidence of mandibular fractures. The two predominant mechanisms of these injuries are interpersonal violence associated with addictive substance abuse, and vehicle accidents. Young males constitute the predominant population concerned by mandibular fractures. In this context, the accuracy of clinical signs and symptoms is high. Appropriate radiographic evaluation is utilised to confirm diagnosis.
