“…With regard to the epidemiology of this type of intercurrence, the literature demonstrates that intraoperative mandibular fractures are more common in the age group of 16 to 45 years and differ from postoperative fractures, which are more common in the age group of 36 to 60 years old (Botelho et al, 2020;Ethunandan, Shanahan, & Patel, 2012). It is also verified that intraoperative fractures are more common in women at a ratio of 1:1.3 and differ from the predominance of males in the postoperative period, which have a ratio of 3.9:1 (Alves Filho et al, 2019;Bachmann, Cáceres, Muñoz, & Uribe, 2014;Ethunandan et al, 2012). These data corroborate the present case, since the patient in question was female and was in the Research, Society andDevelopment, v. 10, n. 13, e161101320915, 2021 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v10i13.20915 aforementioned age group, thus demonstrating that, despite the predominance of postoperative fractures being in males, due to these not be careful with the recommendations, during the trans-operative period this complication ends up affecting female patients in a greater proportion, leading to the need for further studies to verify the relationship of these two factors.…”
