A broken jaw (or mandible fracture) is a common facial injury. Only the nose is broken more frequently. A broken jaw is the 10th most common fractured bone in the human body. Fractures (breaks in the bone) are generally the result of a direct force or trauma to the jawbone (mandible). A dislocated jawbone means that the temporomandibular joint (where the jaw connects with the skull) is moved out of place.
The mandible is a large U-shaped bone that forms the lower jaw. It is the largest and strongest bone in the face, and it houses all of the lower teeth. The posterior mandible is the back part of the jaw. In the primary dentition, it consists of only the two sets of molars and the ramus; in the secondary dentition, it consists of the two sets of premolars, three sets of molars, and the ramus.
