We have analysed 93 patients with mandibular angle fractures, with special re-ference to the treatment of wisdom teeth in the fracture line, during the past 6 years (1985-1990) at the Department of Oral Surgery, Ryukyu University Hospital.<BR>The results were as follows:<BR>1) Among 97 fracture lines in 93 cases, there were 89 wisdom teeth (91. 8%) and 31 of these were extracted.<BR>2) Erupted teeth tended to be extracted, while premature teeth tended to be preserved.<BR>3) There were few differences in prognosis of fractures between preserved cases and ex-tracted cases. These results suggest that the treatment of wisdom teeth should be consideedon an individual basis.
