Abstract
In oral and maxillofacial surgery, the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial trauma is particularly important in pregraduate dental education and postgraduate clinical practice, as well as in other oral surgery diseases or in terms of learning the basics of surgery. Mandibular fractures associated with facial trauma can have a considerable effect on oral function after injury. The treatment of mandibular fractures must focus on recovery of occlusion among the lost oral functions.
This article is based on materials obtained regarding the causes, appearance, diagnosis, treatment, etc. of mandibular fractures mainly in normal times and emergency situations, which are frequently handled by oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
