Iatrogenic Mandibular Fracture Associated with Third Molar Removal

Abstract: Third molar extraction is one of the most common procedures performed in oral and maxillofacial surgery units. It is sometimes accompanied by complications such as alveolar osteitis, secondary infection, hemorrhage, dysesthesia and, most severely, iatrogenic fracture. This article describes two mandibular angle fractures that occurred in two patients during the surgical extraction of one erupted and one unerupted third molar, including a brief review of the literature.

“…Pathological fractures usually may be determined by surgical interventions (third molar removal and implant placement), result from regions of osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis (ORN), and bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), occur because of idiopathic reasons or be facilitated by cystic lesions, benign, malignant, or metastatic tumors .…”

“…A mobile tooth in this situation makes the region more prone to infection . Although rigid internal fixation precludes the inter‐segmental movements and the infection, some studies advise removal of such teeth, while other studies indicate extraction in conditions where teeth hinder reduction of the fracture, fracture of the tooth root or pericoronitis …”

“…Após a remoção de dentes que necessitaram de grandes osteotomias ou inclusões profundas, a mandibula se apresentará atrófica no pós-operatório e cuidados devem ser tomados para evitar a fratura espontânea 20 . O paciente deverá ser informado desta possível complicação e orientado a realizar dieta liquida e pastosa por um período de 4 semanas, tempo suficiente para a reparação óssea e consequente fortalecimento mandibular para receber as cargas mastigatórias normais 22 . Caso ocorra a fratura no trans ou pós-operatório, exames de imagens são imprescindíveis para o correto diagnóstico e definição de conduta.…”
