[Radiologic pitfalls of mandibular fractures].
Analysis of a large series of patients treated for mandibular fractures showed pitfalls in assessment of radiologic images in six cases. Factors predisposing to these radiologic pitfalls are discussed, multiple radiographic projections being suggested if discordance exists between radiologic and clinical findings, to obtain maximum data from a three dimensional picture of the mandible.
