Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Mandibular fractures represents approximately two-thirds of all the maxillofacial fractures (nearly 70%) out of which Majority part constitutes fractures of mandibular angle.

Out of the total 104 Favourable fractures were 72.11% and Unfavourable fractures were 27.89%.The most common complications observed were Infection i.e. 10(9.61%) followed by Loss of teeth – 4(3.84%), Malocclusion- 3(2.88%); IAN Paresthesia -3(2.88%); Non-union of Fracture and Reoperation with IMF -2(1.92%).In outcome Satisfactory bony union occurred in 91.83 % cases. Conclusion: In our study commonest complication observed was operation site infection followed by Malocclusion, Inferior Alveolar Nerve Paresthesia and Loss of teeth.
