Abstract

Over the course of a year, this study assessed the combined surgical and prosthodontic treatment of 30 patients' pathological mandibular fractures linked to third molars. Open reduction and internal fixation were used to treat patients with benign pathologies that compromised bone integrity. After the initial healing period, prosthodontic rehabilitation was performed. With few complications, the results showed a high rate of bone healing, functional restoration and patient satisfaction. Data demonstrate how well a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach can restore the structural and functional integrity of these intricate mandibular fractures.
