Resumen

HERNANDEZ PEDROSO, Luis. INCIDENCE OF MANDIBULAR FRACTURES IN GUYANA . Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2005, vol.42, n.1. ISSN 0034-7507.

A retrospective study of the incidence of mandibular fractures in relation to the total of maxillofacial fractures attended in the Republic of Guyana during 2001 was conducted taking into account its high ocurrence in our daily practice in order to determine the behavior of these injuries and its connection with age, sex, etiology and vulnerable mandibular area. The variables studied were sex, age, cause of the fracture and affected region. The mandibular fractures accounted for 56.6 % of the total of maxillofacial fractures and they were more frequent in men (89.5 %). The age groups with the highest incidence were from 25 to 34 and from 35 to 44 years old, accounting for 30.6 %. The most frequent cause of mandibular fracture was personal aggression (68.6 %) and the commonest anatomical region was the mandibular angle (67.4 %).

Palabras clave : Mandibular fractures; facial fractures; nasal fractures; zygomatic fractures; dentoalveolar fractures.
