Abstract

A retrospective study was undertaken to assess mandibular fractures presenting over the period 1977-1985 in Dundee, Scotland. The data collected included age, sex, aetiology, month in which injury occurred, anatomical site of fracture, associated maxillofacial trauma and treatment modalities. The majority of fractures were sustained by males in the age group 20 to 29 years. Assault was the major cause of trauma followed by falls and road traffic accidents. The posterior body region was found to be the most common fracture site in the mandible. The level of such trauma has more than doubled, since a similar study was undertaken between the years 1961 to 1970.
