📝Abstract

The incidence of maxillofacial trauma has increased manifold in the past two decades due to increase in road traffic accidents, with higher prevalence in the younger age group. Mandible is more vulnerable to fracture in the maxillofacial skeleton due to its mobility, presence of impacted third molars and muscular attachments. It is imperative for the general dental practitioner to be mindful about, the most common maxillofacial fractures, clinical findings, elementary management techniques, principles on fracture management and the referral to a specialist for definitive management. This is a case report of a bilateral angle fracture of the mandible, with bilateral impacted mandibular molars, a rare clinical entity, treated by open reduction and internal fixation.
