| Abstract |
Previous studies have shown the influence of the mandibular third molar on mandibular angle and condylar fractures, but have not comparatively analyzed the impact of the injury mechanism on these fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the lower third molar (M3) and injury-related factors (fracture etiology and site of impact of the traumatic force) on the risk of mandibular angle and condylar fractures. The study included 615 patients who sustained a mandibular fracture in a 13-year period (from January 2000 to December 2013). The independent variables were presence, position and the root number of the M3, fracture etiology, and site of impact of the force. The outcome variables were mandibular angle and condylar fractures. Other variables included in the study were patients' gender and age. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between angle and condylar fractures and to show potential determinants. Angle fractures were significantly influenced by the M3, site of impact, and age, but the main predictors were the eruption status and vertical position of the M3 (classified by Pell and Gregory) and site of impact of the force. Condylar fractures were significantly influenced by the M3 and site of impact of the force, but only the last showed as a predictor. Factors related to the M3 showed more significant influence on angle fractures than on condylar fractures. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 February 2016.
All research outputs
#16,691,248
of 24,549,201 outputs
Outputs from Dental Traumatology
#351
of 695 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#243,724
of 406,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dental Traumatology
#3
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,549,201 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 695 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 406,452 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
