The mandibular fracture takes the second position among facial bones fractures, with significant increase of cases in the last years. The aim of this paper is to report a clinical case of a patient with facial trauma due to an automotive accident, resulting in an atypical fracture in a unilateral mandibular angle. In the image examinations an atypical favorable fracture in the right mandibular angle region involving the apex of the erupted 48 tooth was found. The fracture line started in the posterior region of mandibular ramus, below mandibular condyle, and spread out until inferior border of the mandible in premolar region. Despite the atypical design of the mandibular angle fracture described in this paper, the treatment showed satisfactory results, without any aesthetic or functional changes for the patient.
下颌骨骨折在面骨骨折中位列第二，近年来病例数显著增加。本文旨在报告一例因汽车事故导致面部创伤的患者临床病例，该事故造成单侧下颌角非典型骨折。在影像检查中，发现右侧下颌角区域存在非典型良性骨折，累及已萌出的48号牙的根尖。骨折线始于下颌支后区，下颌髁突下方，一直延伸至下颌骨前磨牙区的下缘。尽管本文描述的下颌角骨折设计不典型，但治疗效果令人满意，患者未出现任何美学或功能方面的改变。
