BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Conventional thinking among radiologists is that the
mandible acts as a closed “ring” that needs to fracture at 2 points, though the frequency of …

Mandibular fractures are frequently encountered in the trauma setting and comprise a
significant number of facial injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the …

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize mandibular fracture locations using 64-
slice multidetector CT (MDCT). Methods: CT scans of 138 patients with mandibular fractures …

Objective data comparing sensitivity and accuracy between traditional and computed
imaging techniques used for diagnosing mandibular fractures is sparse. To address the …

PURPOSE: Trauma to the mandible can potentially increase our predictive accuracy for
intracranial injuries (ICIs) because of the mandible's strength, anatomic proximity, and direct …

After the nasal bones, the mandible is the second most common site of facial fractures, and
mandibular fractures frequently require open reduction. In the trauma injury setting …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the clinical efficacy of maxillofacial cone-
beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the diagnosis of suspected mandibular fractures …

Mandibular fractures are among the most common maxillofacial fractures observed in
emergency rooms and are mainly caused by road accidents. The clinical features of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Evaluation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) soft tissue
injuries after condylar fractures remains a challenge with use of conventional radiography …

In a retrospective clinical study (2000–2003), 121 patients' radiographs and computed
tomography scans were reviewed to establish the clinical value of three-dimensional …
