SURGICAL APPROACH TO MANDIBLE FRACTURE

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: MANDIBLE FRACTURES ARE AMONG THE MOST FREQUENT FRACTURES OF THE FACIAL BONES AND THE THE FRACTURE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE SINCE THE FIRST MANDIBULAR TREATMENTS, IN THE LITERATURE EGYPTIAN DUE TO ITS ANATOMY, AND THE PROJECTION IN THE LOWER THIRD OF THE FACE, THE MANDIBLE IS FREQUENT TRAUMA, WHICH CAN RESULT IN FRACTURES, MAINLY IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, FALLS OR SPORTS ACCIDENTS. OBJECTIVES: THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO PRESENT THE METHODS OF APPROACHES CHOSEN FOR THE TREATMENT OF MANDIBULAR FRACTURE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: THE RESEARCH WAS PERFORMED IN THE DATABASES OF PETERSON'S PRINCIPLES OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY AND TRAUMA MAXILLOFACIAL DE FONSECA. DISCUSSION: THE NUMBER OF MANDIBULAR FRACTURES HAS BEEN INCREASING DUE TO FACTORS SUCH AS URBAN GROWTH, NUMBER OF CHILDREN FROM VIOLENCE AND TRAUMA FACIAL AND THE MOST COMMON AGE GROUP IS FROM 20 TO 29 YEARS OLD, WITH THE MAJORITY BEING MALE. RESULTS AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: THE GUARANTEED RESULTS THAT THE MOST AFFECTED CAUSES IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, WITH THE MANDIBLE, CONDYLE AND HORN BEING THE MOST FRACTURED REGIONS, STUDY IN THE STUDY CARRIED OUT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEONS IN THE TREATMENT OF DEFICIENCIES.
