No, a fracter jaw is not the same as a broken jaw. A fracter jaw is a condition in which the jaw joint becomes permanently dislocated, while a broken jaw refers to a fracture or break in the jaw bone. Both conditions require medical attention.
The medical term for a broken jaw is "mandibular fracture." It refers to a break in the bone that makes up the lower jaw. Treatment usually involves stabilizing the jaw, and in severe cases, surgery may be required.

Dental code D7610 is for stabilization of a maxillary (upper jaw) fracture.
hello, the short answer is yes. Depending on how it was extracted and the stability of the jaw it can happen. I am a vet tech and I have seen it happen. When the state of the jaw is questioanble ( such as with cancer of the bone of the jaw) no tooth should ever be "pulled" it should always be drilled out.

Jaw surgery is a very serious procedure. In fact many people who go through with this are in serious pain after the surgery. You can go to the website www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ to talk with others about what this pain is like.
A broken jaw itself is typically not considered deadly, but it can lead to serious complications. If the fracture causes airway obstruction, significant blood loss, or is accompanied by other injuries, it can become life-threatening. Additionally, complications such as infections or damage to surrounding structures can arise, increasing the risk. Proper medical treatment is essential to manage such injuries effectively.
