In severely atrophic mandible, even very minor trauma can cause fracture. Additionally, pathologic fracture during mastication can occur. The reduction and fixation techniques for treatment of fractures of the edentulous mandible are based on the fundamental principles of adequate bone fragment apposition and immobilization.
