Prevention of mandibular fractures by using constructional design principles. II. A tension strength test on beagle mandibles with two different types of segmental resections.
The tension strength of mandibular halves of beagle dogs, with two different types of segmental resections, was studied. It was found that the radius of the posterior resection corner is of utmost importance in reducing the risk of mandibular fractures.
