Resumo
Fractures of atrophic mandibles are present on the day by day of buccomaxillofacial surgeons. Mandible atrophy occurs due to tooth loss, which over time induces bone resorption leading to a fragile and susceptible to fracture structure. This paper reports the case of a patient victim of face trauma resulting in atrophic mandible fracture with treatment failure through the use of shared load miniplate. Therefore, a new treatment was performed with miniplate of system 2.4 along with bone graft. After 6 months, the patient was rehabilitated with implant-supported prosthesis installation. It is concluded that for successful treatment of atrophic mandible fractures, the use of rigid plates is necessary, allowing an excellent rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system.
