Abstract
In patients, fully dentate or with 1 or 2 teeth missing and older than 25 years who have no jawbone atrophy and no systemic problems that may impair bone strength, mastication seems not to affect late mandibular fracture after surgical removal of impacted M3s associated with no gross pathology. The remote possible risk of the late fracture shown in our patients indicates the need for no special precautions.
