Contemporary Management of Mandibular Fractures

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Peterson’s Principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Abstract

Mandible fractures are one of the most common fractures managed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The mandible develops zones of tensile and compressive force during normal function, and the location of these zones is dependent upon the direction, location and magnitude of force, stress, or load applied. An understanding of biomechanics is not only necessary for predicting patterns of injury but also for evaluating the effectiveness of fixation techniques and developing the most predictable therapeutic intervention. This chapter reviews the various fracture patterns and treatment approaches, as well as technological advancements that help facilitate an optimal return of form and function.
