Biomechanics of Unusual Isolated Mandibular Body Fracture-A Rare Case

The mandible being the only movable bone in the maxillofacial skeleton is bond to get fractured due to various etiologies. The mandible has few mechanically weak regions. The fracture of mandible has been classified depending upon the region of involvement of the mandible, but we found that the fracture of body involving only the lower border in the sagittal plane without deranging the occlusion is comparatively rare. Here, a unique pattern of mandibular body fracture in sagittal plane without deranging an occlusion is presented with possible etiology and biomechanics for its unique presentation is reported.
