An infected mandibular fracture case highlights a submandibular abscess originating from chronic pericoronitis. Prompt management and first aid are crucial for treating such complex fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Traumatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Mandibular fractures are common facial injuries.
  • Infection can complicate fracture healing, leading to significant morbidity.
  • The role of odontogenic infections in mandibular fracture complications requires further understanding.

Observation:

  • A case of infected mandibular fracture is presented.
  • A submandibular abscess was observed, seemingly originating from a chronic pericoronal infection.
  • The infection was associated with a third molar tooth located within the fracture line.

Findings:

  • The presented case demonstrates a direct link between pericoronitis of a third molar and a submandibular abscess in an infected mandibular fracture.

  • Successful treatment of the abscess and fracture was achieved.
  • Discussion emphasizes the etiology and management strategies for infected mandibular fractures.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the critical need for thorough dental assessment in cases of mandibular fractures.
    • Underscores the importance of early and appropriate first aid and prompt medical referral.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the prevention and management of odontogenically-induced complications in mandibular fractures.
