Abstract

Mandibular fractures are the most common trauma cases that we often come across in our day-to-day practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Various factors can lead to deformities and make those cases more challenging, which includes a delay in surgical treatment, resulting in non-union or malunion of the fracture site causing occlusal disturbances and functional abnormalities in the temporomandibular joint.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2023, Ahamed et al.)
