title: [Proposal of a new topographic classification of mandibular fractures].
abstract: There has been a certain amount of confusion in publications concerning fractures of the mandible due to the lack of consensus on classification. Starting with the embryological, anatomic, biomechanical, pathogenic and epidemiological features of these fractures, we propose a new terminology and a new distribution of the units and subunits of the mandible in traumatology. The main point is to incorporate the angle subunit into the ramus unit.
