RESUMEN
The following case report describes the unusual occurrence of a central neurilemoma of the mandible. The lesion presented as a large bilocular, radiolucency of the mandibular body and was discovered incidentally on routine panoramic examination. It was successfully treated by enucleation and curettage. A brief review of neurilemoma is also presented.

A retrospective analysis of 105 mandibular fractures associated with incompletely erupted third molars was undertaken. It was found that there was no difference in the rates of complication if the teeth were retained or extracted, or if an open or closed reduction was performed. The combination of tooth retention with open reduction, however, shows a trend toward being the treatment most prone to postoperative complications.
