Abstract
This study evaluated retrospectively the treatment method and postoperative complications of communited mandibular fractures. We analyzed the clinical and radiologic data of 14 patients with the comminuted mandibular fractures who were admitted to Chosun University Dental Hospital from January 1998 to December 2003. We reviewed the cause of trauma, fracture sites, treatment methods, and postoperative complications. Thirteen patients (93%) had a successful treatment outcome without complications. Only one patient developed postoperative osteomyelitis requiring early plate removal and sequestrectomy. For the comminuted fractures of mandible, internal fixation using micro- or mini-plate was an effective treatment method with a low incidence of major complications.
