Intra- and postoperative mandibular fracture is one of the major complications associated with difficult surgical extractions in the lower arch. Adult age, male gender, deep inclusion, tooth ankylosis, and associated cystic or other pathological lesions are usually considered predisposing factors of mandibular fracture related to surgery. The aim of the present article was to report and discuss a case in which a miniplate was used to prevent such a serious complication.

Adult age, male gender, deep inclusion, tooth ankylosis, and associated cystic or other pathological lesions are usually considered predisposing factors of mandibular fracture related to surgery. The aim of the present article was to report and discuss a case in which a miniplate was used to prevent such a serious complication.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
