title: Fractured genial tubercles.
abstract: It is apparent from these reports that fractures of genial tubercles occur periodically and that surgical treatment for most fractures is not necessary. This type of patient is quite likely to seek dental care because a denture may seem to be the obvious source of irritation. Review of all available information indicates that conservative management is the treatment of choice for fractures of genial tubercles.
