When do mandibular fractures usually occur in regards to tooth removal?
Most late fractures occurred in between 13 and 21 days postoperatively
What is going on at the tissue level when a mandible fractures associated with tooth removal?
- Granulation tisue is being replaced by connective tissue in the alveolar socket
- Patients feeling better and eating normal foods with increased maasticatory forces

What could this be?
Osteomyelitis

- Age (mean 40 years) usually > 25 years old
In an infected area, you would want to use which anesthetic and why?
- Use anestehtic with lower pKa
- Mepivacaine is good for infected areas
Describe a patient with Stage 0 BRONJ…
What are the types of vonWillebrand Disease?
- I - most common quantative defect
- II - qualatative defect (2A, 2B, 2M, 2N)
