Prognosis of teeth in the line of mandibular angle fractures
Keywords:
Tooth vitality, mandibular angle fracture, Fracture line, tooth mobility,Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate teeth involved in the line of fracture and clinically radiographically, and their associated complications so as to indicate if they should be managed conservatively or extracted. Data were collected from patient records treated for mandibular angle fractures, including pre- and postoperative panoramic radiographs, demographic data such as age and sex, as well as information on tooth mobility, vitality of teeth in the line of fracture, and teeth stabilizing the fracture segment.
