Mandibular fracture after third molar removal: a case report.
General Dentistry
|July 30, 2019
Summary
Mandibular fractures, a rare complication of third molar extraction, can be surgically treated. Effective treatment restores jaw continuity and function, emphasizing careful pre-operative planning to minimize risks.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Traumatology
Background:
- Third molar extraction is a common dental procedure.
- Complications can range from pain and trismus to rare mandibular fractures.
Observation:
- This case report details a mandibular fracture occurring post-third molar extraction.
- The fracture was surgically treated under general anesthesia using a submandibular approach.
Findings:
- Osteosynthesis was achieved using a 2.4-mm plate and screw system.
- The patient experienced no functional or esthetic issues 6 months post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case highlights successful surgical management of extraction-related mandibular fractures.
- Thorough pre-operative assessment is crucial to mitigate fracture risks during third molar surgery.

The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

03:43Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume
63.2K
The volume occupied by one mole of a substance is its molar volume. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, suggests that the volume of a given quantity of gas and the number of moles in a given volume of gas vary with changes in pressure and temperature. At standard temperature and pressure, or STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), one mole of an ideal gas (regardless of its identity) has a volume of about 22.4 L — this is referred to as the standard molar volume.

5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

5.1K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
