ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the relationship between impacted mandibular third molar presence and the risk for mandibular angle fracture with the effect of various positions of mandibular third molar and the risk of mandibular angle fracture. Materials and Methods: In the North Indian territory, a total of 289 patients with mandibular angle fractures were studied and evaluated for the possible relationship with impacted third molar on the basis of clinical and panoramic radiographical findings. Results: Results that confirmed the highest risk for mandibular angle fracture was associated with mesioangular angulations (45.42%) followed by vertical (26.34%), distoangular in sequence and least risk was found with bucco-version angulations (2.67%) according to Winter′s classification. Additionally, the highest risk of mandibular angle fracture was reported with partially erupted third molar (47.75%), followed by erupted (23.53%) and unerupted third molar (19.38%). Conclusion: The risk for mandibular angle fracture is not only affected by status of eruption, angulations, position, number of roots present in third molar but also by the distance of mandibular third molar from inferior border of mandible and the percentage of remaining amount of bone at the mandibular angle region.

The Relationship

The objective of this study is to discuss problems associated with dental retention through three clinical cases of mandible fractures related to the presence of retained lower third molars, emphasizing the possibility of mandible fractures resulting from this or from the extraction procedure. The three evaluated patients had a fracture in the mandible angle. The third molars were present in all the cases, as was the relationship of the fracture with the teeth. After evaluating the three cases and reviewing literature, it is believed that the presence of the retained lower third molars and the surgical procedures for their extraction increase the risk of mandible angle fractures.

Bilateral mandibular angle fractures, while representing a rarity among mandibular fractures, are a huge challenge of complex management for the maxillofacial surgeon. There are still many open questions regarding the ideal management of such fractures, including the following: the removal of the third molar in the fracture line, the best surgical approach, and the fixation methods. In this report the authors present the case of 40-year-old man presenting with a bilateral mandibular angle fracture referred to the Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Turin. Open reduction and internal fixation has been made for both sides. The left side third molar was removed and the internal fixation was achieved through internal fixation with one miniplate according to Champy’s technique and transbuccal access for a 4-hole miniplate at the inferior border of the mandible. Right side third molar was not removed and fixation was achieved through intraoral access and positioning of a 4-hole miniplate along the external ridge according to Champy. An optimal reduction was achieved and a correct occlusion has been restored.

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).

Mandibular angle region is enshrined in literature as a fragile area because of the third molar presence further when its impaction shaping up as a rare complication associated with more attempts to extraction of the tooth. Several factors influence the possibility of fracture as gender, age, degree of dental inclusion and presence of associated injuries. The best form of treatment depending on the case is surgical, consisting of placing the intraosseous fixing devices. The purpose of facilitated and a conservative approach for the treatment of fractures of mandibular angle is displayed. Also, demystify the contraindication of intraoral access for cases of unfavorable fractures to displacement. This study, in addition, been reports two clinical cases of mandibular angle fractures in the presence of a third included molar treated by means of intraoral access set by Champy technique of external oblique line with the use of single board in office dental. Results: This approach is well suited to cases with little displacement of the fracture line and when the patient shows collaborator. This technique as well as fast, reduces spending on hospital besides reducing postoperative sequelae because it prevents the need for extra-oral access.Descriptors: Fracture Fixation; Therapeutics; Anesthesia, Local; Molar, Third.

To Receive

This prospective randomized clinical trial compared the treatment outcomes of strut plate and Champy miniplate in fixation of mandibular angle fractures. Patients with mandibular angle fracture were consented and enrolled into this study. Exclusion criteria include patients with severely comminuted fractures. The patients were randomly assigned to receive the strut plate or Champy miniplate for angle fracture fixation. Patient demographics, fracture characteristics, operative and postoperative outcomes were collected prospectively. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the significance of the outcome. A total of 18 patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to receive either the strut plate or Champy miniplate. Out of which five patients were excluded postoperatively due to complex fracture resulting in postoperative maxillomandibular fixation. The final enrollment was 13 patients, N = 6 (strut) and N = 7 (Champy). There was no statistically significant difference in the pretreatment variables. Nine of these patients had other associated facial fractures, including parasymphyseal and subcondylar fractures. Most of the (11) patients had sufficient follow-up after surgery. Both groups exhibited successful clinical unions of the mandibular angle fractures. The complications associated with the mandibular angle were 20% in the strut plate group and 16.7% in the Champy group. One patient in the strut plate group had a parasymphyseal infection, requiring hardware removal. The strut plate demonstrated comparable surgical outcome as the Champy miniplate. It is a safe and effective alternative for management of mandibular angle fracture.
