RESUMO
Objective To characterize epidemiologically the aspects of incidence, treatment and complications of mandibular fractures in dentate, partially dentate and edentulous patients. Methods Data were collected from medical records of patients seen by the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Piracicaba School of Dentistry/UNICAMP, from January 1999 to October 2009. Results Were selected 738 adult patients, grouped into three age groups (18 to 30 years, 31-64 years and over 64 years), whose degree of edentulism was informed, being 330 dentition (45%), 367 partially serrated (50%) and 41 edentulous (5%). The ratio between male and female was 41, mean age of 31 years, with higher incidence in caucasians, and 81% were economically active. The most common causes were traffic accidents (54%), followed by assault (20%), falls (15%), sports accidents (4%) and work (4%). Condylar fractures accounted for 29% of all fractures, followed by fractures of the body (25%), symphysis (24%) and angle (19%). The only significant difference between the sites of fracture was found in the edentulous, which presented a low incidence of angle fractures. Conclusions It was observed that this population, homogeneous as to the cultural and socio-environmental factors, the dentate, partially dentate and edentulous behaved similarly as to the mandibular fractures resulting from trauma energies of similar intensities.
