Five-Year Analysis of Mandible Fracture and its Associated Factors
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the mandibular fracture in patients who presented our center between January Year 2011 to December Year 2015. A total of 222 patients with 368 mandibular fractures were analysed. The age of patients ranged from 3 to 76 years old (mean age 23.3) with peak incidence occurring in the 10 to 19 years age group. The Male to female ratio was 5.5:1. The most common cause of injury was motor vehicle accident (MVA) (91%), followed by fall (2.7%) and intentional injury (2.7%). The most common site of fracture was the parasymphysis (29.9%), followed by condyle (21.7%) and angle (15.2%). A total of 75 patients (33.8%) sustained other maxillofacial fractures and 143 patients (64.4%) sustained nonmaxillofacial injuries. Motorcycle related accidents, especially without a helmet, demonstrated close relation to the high incidence of parasymphyseal fracture; causing more severe maxillofacial injury, head and neck injuries and extremities injury. In term of treatment for mandibular fractures, 69.4% of patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation, 15.8% of patients required intermaxillary fixation and 11.7% of patients had conservative treatment with soft diet. The finding of this study indicated that the pattern of mandibular fracture is related to the causative factor; therefore additional preventive measures should be accomplished.
