Current therapy of atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures among elderly people

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2017.04.017

Abstract

Abstract:

The cases of mandible fractures among elderly people, especially those with atrophic mandibles, are increasing. Atrophic mandibular fractures among elderly people require specific treatment because of the differences between the anato-micophysiologies of elderly people and those of normal adults. This paper serves as a literature review on the characteristics, selection of the treatment method, and complication of atrophic edentulous mandibular fractures among elderly people.

Key words: elderly people, atrophic edentulous, mandibular fracture
