The aim of this systematic review is to report the prevalence of mandibular fractures that occur intra- and postoperatively in patients who have undergone surgical removal of the lower third molar.Īn electronic database search for articles published in Cochrane, PubMed (MEDLINE) and Scopus was conducted using the key words 'Molar, Third' 'Mandibular Fractures' 'Molar Third, Removal' 'Molar Third, Complications' 'Dental Extractions, Complications' 'Mandibular Fractures, Third molar removal'. The surgical extraction of the lower third molars is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery, and this surgical operation can cause intra- and postoperative complications such as pain, trismus, bleeding, infection, oedema, inferior alveolar nerve injuries, displacement of teeth to neighbouring spaces and mandibular fractures. The panoramic X-Rays showed us the bone fracture healing. On the follow-up, the patient showed an improvement in mouth opening and mandibular mobility without pain or infection signs. The patient underwent surgery under general anesthesia to open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) through an intraoral approach. In the assessment, the patient presented edema, pain, malocclusion, and restriction in mandible mobility, and the panoramic X-ray showed a mandible fracture with displacement. A 27-year-old female was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service of the Santa Casa Hospital of Araçatuba (Araçatuba, Brazil), reporting dental history of third molar removal, with immediately chief complaints. Thus this study aims to report a case about a mandible fracture after third molar extraction, presenting edema, pain, and restriction in mandible mobility in 01-day follow-up. Surgical planning as the indication to the surgery has to be performed to avoid complications as the fracture. Fractures caused by a third molar can occur, and on the other hand, the fractures after or during the management of impacted third molar are a possible complication. A using analgesic therapy has been proven to reduce moderate to mild pain scale.Surgical management of impacted third molars is a treatment performed by dentists and its indicated for various conditions, among the indications has the prevention of mandibular fracture, but this is a factor that has been discussed and is controversial. Discussion of the results of this nursing care report can be concluded that Mr. The results of the report on nursing care obtained priority diagnoses are acute pain associated with physical injury agents, interventions performed are pain management, wound care, promotion of communication. The method of this report uses the interview technique conducted in Room 5 of the Kanjuruhan Hospital, Malang. The purpose of writing this report is to get an overview of the nursing process in patients with mandibular fractures. Most causes of fractures are due to traffic accidents such as motor and car accidents and pedestrian accidents when crossing.

Loss of continuity in the lower jaw (mandible) can be fatal if not handled properly. Mandibular fracture is a break in the continuity of mandibular bone.
