SummaryIn a canine mandibular osteotomy model, the extent and nature of dental trauma resulting from internal fixation by means of a plate and screws was investigated. The plate was positioned relatively dorsally on the buccal aspect of the body of the mandible, for maximum biomechanical advantage. After a three-month period, dental trauma was evaluated clinically and histologically. Erosion of the oral mucosa overlying the plate occurred in 10 out of 15 dogs. Dental roots were damaged by 61% of the screws. A variety of lesions involving the periodontal ligament, dentine, cementum, pulp, and periapical tissue were noted. It is concluded that this method of fixation can not be recommended for mandibular fracture repair in the dog.The effects of plating osteotomies of canine mandibles are described and evaluated following a three-month postoperative period.

SummaryObjective: To determine patient factors and fracture morphology of dogs presented with mandibular fractures to a small animal referral centre in South Africa.Methods: Patient data on age, sex, breed and aetiology of dogs with mandibular fractures were recorded. The fractures were classified according to the anatomical location, displacement, fracture type, fracture line direction, periodontal pathology, and whether there were teeth in the fracture line or not by evaluation of preoperative radiographs. Clinical observations indicated whether these fractures were open or closed.Results: In total, 109 dogs with 135 mandibular fractures were included in the study. Small breed dogs and dogs less than eight months of age predominated (102/109). Dog fights were the most common aetiology in this study (68/109). The molar region was the most commonly affected region (56/135). Evaluation of the radiographs revealed that transverse (73/135), relatively unstable (116/135), and displaced (112/135) fractures were the most common. The majority of fractures involved teeth in the fracture line (100/135), with the first molar frequently involved (54/135). The majority of fractures were open (104/135).Clinical significance: The results obtained from this study may be used to guide patient and fracture morphology selection in biomechanical studies of mandibular fracture repair techniques. Screening of this patient population may inspire the search for new treatment options for mandibular fracture repair in South Africa.
