Iatrogenic errors during exodontias includes trismus, alveolar osteitis, postoperative infection, hemorrhage, oro-antral communication, damage to adjacent teeth, displaced teeth, and fractures.While doing extraction chances of occurrence of fracture of mandible is fortuitously rare, but is under-reported. These fractures could occur in the intra-operative or postoperative period and can cause significant distress to the patient and the practitioner. This case report addresses the incidence of mandibular fracture in a 50-year-old male and various surgical treatment modalities and ways of prevention are discussed.

The Aesthetic

Fractured and missing teeth within the aesthetic zone have always posed a clinical challenge for the dental team. Management and treatment requires the input from a number of dental specialists to guarantee a high quality result. A case report is presented to demonstrate an effective combined orthodontic/restorative approach that fully restored aesthetics and function. The report is of a 14-year-old girl who traumatized her maxillary central incisors, in a dentition that was already compromised as she had congenital absence of her maxillary left lateral incisor. Using fixed orthodontic appliances, the fractured teeth were extruded to bring the fracture line above the level of the alveolar bone. This movement allowed an immediate aesthetic improvement, using stainless steel prefabricated posts and composite resin buildups, which also facilitated further orthodontic tooth movement. Teeth, that would otherwise have been extracted, were salvaged and, utilizing a multidisciplinary team approach, a reasonable long-term prognosis has resulted. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case report aims to demonstrate how a multidisciplinary team approach in Orthodontics can be utilized for management of severely handicapped dentitions that have sustained dental injury. It is not the aim of this case report to discuss the treatment of dental injuries but to demonstrate and provide an overview of the possible treatment modalities that can be effective in restoring function and aesthetics, with special consideration given to missing teeth and subgingival crown fractures within the aesthetic zone.

The Cost

Orthodontic appliances for skeletal anchorage are becoming increasingly more common in clinical practice. Similarly, different terms such as mini-implants, microimplants, and miniscrews have been used. There is a wide array of appliances currently on the market, in different designs and sizes, diameters, degree of titanium purity, and surface treatment. These appliances have been used for a variety of indications, including tooth retraction, intrusion, and traction. This study aimed to report the clinical case of a 19-year-old patient with a fractured mandible and to propose a novel use of mini-implants: the perioperative placement of mini-implants as anchors for maxillomandibular fixation steel wire ligatures. We concluded that this appliance provides an effective maxillomandibular fixation in patients with mandibular fracture, with little increase in the cost of surgery.

Condylar Fractures

Condylar fractures are among the most frequent fractures in the context of traumatic lesions of the face. The management of condylar fractures is still controversial, especially when fractures occur in children: if overlooked or inappropriately treated, these lesions may lead to severe sequelae, both cosmetic and functional. The therapy must be careful because severe long-term complications can occur. In this case report, the authors present a case of mandibular fracture in which the decision between surgical therapy and functional therapeutic regimen may be controversial due to the particular anatomy of the fracture line and the age of the patient.
