Abstract

The fracture of facial bone usually accompanies alveolar bone fracture and dislocation or fracture of teeth. Thus, aside from the reduction of fracture, the reconstruction of occlusion through the rehabilitation of lost teeth should be considered. The dislocation of tooth after trauma accompanying alveolar bone fracture needs bone grafting in case of implant treatment. Although autogenous bone graft shows good prognosis, it has the disadvantage of requiring a secondary surgery. This is a case of a mandibular condyle head fracture accompanied by alveolar bone fracture. The condylar head fragment removed during open reduction was grafted to the alveolar bone fracture site, thereby foregoing the need for secondary surgery.
