Abstract

Mandibular fractures are frequent, and it is common to observe multiple mandibular fractures. Bifocal bilateral fractures are usually diagnosed because of the trauma dynamics and mandibular anatomy. Instead, bifocal unilateral fractures are a rare entity, thus presenting a free mandibular segment without anterior and posterior support. The aim of this article is to present and discuss the characteristics and surgical management of a bifocal unilateral mandibular fracture.
