Abstract
One of the most common dental surgical procedures performed in specialized oral surgery and dental practice is extractions of mandibular third molar. In this report, we look at the case of a 55-year-old patient who is receiving hospital treatment for lower jaw pain and edema. After orthopantomography, a fracture was found in the angle of the lower jaw, accompanied by an inflammatory process. In the intraoral examination, an unhealed completely extraction wound to the left of the mandible was observed in the area of the wisdom tooth, pathological mobility and bone crepitus. Mandibular angle fracture is the most common mandibular fracture, accounting for approximately 40% of all mandibular fractures. Mandibular angle fracture is defined as a fracture line between the anterior border of the mandibular ramus and the jaw body. In the present case, the patient received an additional graphy of the facial skeleton and was treated with intermaxillary fixation with rigid fixation and restraints bilaterally in the area of the upper and lower jaws and molars.
