The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury in mandibular fractures. This study is based on two databases that have continuously recorded patients hospitalized with maxillofacial fractures in two departments—Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Vrije Universiteit University Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Division of Maxillofacial Surgery, San Giovanni Battista Hospital, Turin, Italy. Demographic, anatomic, and etiology variables were considered for each patient and statistically assessed in relation to the neurosensory IAN impairment. Statistically significant associations were found between IAN injury and fracture displacement ( p = 0.03), isolated mandibular fractures ( p = 0.01), and angle fractures ( p = 0.004). A statistically significant association was also found between IAN injury and assaults ( p = 0.03). Displaced isolated mandibular angle fractures could be considered at risk for increased incidence of IAN injury. Assaults seem to be the most important etiological factor that is responsible for IAN lesions.

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the risk of complications associated with retaining or extracting an asymptomatic third molar in the line of an angle fracture. Aiming to seek a consensus whether third molars should be extracted or retained during surgical repair of mandibular angle fractures. Method A retrospective study was undertaken at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. 150 patients across a span of three years underwent open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular angle fractures with third molar involvement. Patients were classified into two groups, tooth retention during angle fracture and tooth removal during angle fracture repair. Hospital records were evaluated to seek the rate of post-operative complications at follow-up Results 162 angle fractures were identified with ipsilateral wisdom teeth present. In 37 cases the wisdom tooth was removed during surgery. 6 complications (16.2%) occurred in this group necessitating a return to theatre. In 125 cases the wisdom tooth was left in-situ. Complications necessitating a return to theatre occurred in 14 cases (11.1%). Conclusions This study indicates that retention of wisdom tooth overall did not significantly increase the risk of complications associated with angle fractures (p = 0.42). Where wisdom tooth pathology was noted its retention was associated with complications requiring a return to theatre (X2=4.40, p = 0.036).

Condylar Fractures

The mandibular angle and condylar regions are most prone to fractures and this has been attributed to the presence/absence or the position of the third molars. This retrospective study was undertaken to analyze the correlation between the third molars and incidence of condylar and angle fractures in 104 patients treated for these fractures during the period from June 2009 to December 2013. Clinical and radiographic records of these patients were studied to look for the presence and position of third molars and their relation to incidence of condylar or angle fractures. There was a definite positive relation to impacted third molars and increased incidence of angle fractures. The condylar fractures were more commonly seen when the third molars were fully erupted or missing. Third molar impactions predispose to angle fractures and missing or fully erupted third molars predispose to condylar fractures.
