The mandible and maxilla constitute the jaws and are the bony structures in which the teeth are set to form the framework of the mouth, contributing the lower third and part of the middle third of the facial skeleton respectively. Fractures of these bony structures are a component of the spectrum of “maxillofacial fractures” and vary in severity from simple crack in the alveolus to a major disruption of the entire maxillofacial skeleton.
