Abstract

|
|
The late or delayed fracture of mandible after surgical operation may occur rarely in dental treatment process. Among all the underlying conditions, the fractures have been sometimes reported before cyst enucleation due to the expanded cyst, but few cases that mean the delayed fracture have been reported after surgery. It is difficult to make intraoperative prediction at initial stage which operation site will develop a more delayed fracture. Here we report a case of a dentigerous cyst on mandible in a 51-year-old man. The cyst was associated with an impacted mandibular third molar tooth. This case report is to investigate the possibility of the delayed fracture after enucleation of dentigerous cyst associated with the impacted third molar. Finally, we discuss suitable treatment and appropriate postoperative care in the event of the delayed fracture.
