Description
Background: Children under the age of 15 account for about 5% of all face fractures, and children under the age of 5 have a far lower incidence. Their incidence rises when children begin school. Between puberty and adolescence, it surges as well. There is a male majority throughout all age groups. Objectives: This retrospective study examined the causes and patterns of paediatric mandibular fractures. Methodology: The clinical records of 100 children (50 males and 50 females) aged 0 to 15 years who presented with mandibular fractures from July 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The sex, patient age, site of fracture, etiology of trauma, and monthly variations of the fractures were recorded. Descriptive statistics, the z-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis and the P-value less than 0.05 was considered as a significant. Results: 100 children (male-to-female ratio 1.01:1) sustained 121 mandibular fractures. Within the study sample, the 6-to-10-year age group and fall from the height (72%) was the cause of mandibular fractures in majority of subjects, followed by sports injury (18%) and Road traffic injury. (8%). The most common site was the condylar region (33%) followed by Symphysis/ Parasymphsis (42%), body (13%), and Body / Angel (12%). Conclusion: We would like to draw the conclusion that falls are the main reason for mandibular fractures and that condylar fractures are the most frequent form of fracture. According to the study’s findings, there was no discernible gender difference in the incidence of mandibular fractures.

Methodology: The clinical records of 100 children (50 males and 50 females) aged 0 to 15 years who presented with mandibular fractures from July 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The sex, patient age, site of fracture, etiology of trauma, and monthly variations of the fractures were recorded. Descriptive statistics, the z-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis and the P-value less than 0.05 was considered as a significant.
