ABSTRACT

Facial trauma is one of the most common causes for which the Stomatology Department is consulted in the area of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Roosevelt Hospital. Objective of this study was to determine the displacement of mandibular angle fractures and its relationship with the presence of the lower third molar in the fracture line according to the Pell and Gregory classification. Material and methods: A cross-sectional observational study was designed in which all patients admitted to the Roosevelt Hospital emergency in the area of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were evaluated, the medical records that included their data such as age, patients with mandibular angle fractures with the third molars included in the fracture trace, which will have computer assisted tomography (CT), without the presence of other facial fractures. Results: Data analysis of a total of 45 patients, it was observed that the most frequent position of the third molar according to the Pell and Gregory classification was AI with 31.10%. Conclusion: It was observed that the behavior of mandibular angle fractures in relation to the position of the third molar and its displacement is not conditioned by the presence of the fracture line, so it is ruled out that the presence of the third molar plays a role. an important role that allows or not the displacement of the mandibular angle fracture, whether favorable or unfavorable in the 45 cases studied.
