N2  - Various radiographic techniques are applied for diagnosing mandibular fractures. Standard radiographs used in the hospital to diagnose mandibular fractures have included lateral oblique, posteroanterior, and fronto-occipital (Towne) mandibular projections. If positive, the panoramic radiograph can be used as the sole radiograph. A case is reported of a unilateral fracture of the mandibular angle, which became evident about one month after extraction of the mandibular third molars. Neither the lateral oblique nor the panoramic projection revealed the fracture; however, periapical films showed the fracture through the extraction site.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
