Se realiza un estudio retrospectivo de la incidencia de las fracturas mandibulares en relación con el total de las fracturas maxilofaciales atendidas en la República de Guyana durante el año 2001 debido a su alta presentación en nuestro quehacer diario, con el objetivo de determinar el comportamiento de estas lesiones y su relación con la edad, sexo, etiología y área mandibular vulnerable. Las variables estudiadas fueron sexo, edad, causa de la fractura y región afectada. Las fracturas mandibulares ocuparon el 56,6 % del total de fracturas maxilofaciales y fue más frecuente en los hombres ( 89,5 %). Los grupos etáreos de mayor incidencia fueron de 25 a 34 y de 35 a 44 años, con el 30,6 %. La causa más común de fracturas mandibulares fue la agresión personal ( 68,6 %) y la región anatómica más afectada el ángulo mandibular ( 67,4 %).A retrospective study of the incidence of mandibular fractures in relation to the total of maxillofacial fractures attended in the Republic of Guyana during 2001 was conducted taking into account its high ocurrence in our daily practice in order to determine the behavior of these injuries and its connection with age, sex, etiology and vulnerable mandibular area. The variables studied were sex, age, cause of the fracture and affected region. The mandibular fractures accounted for 56.6 % of the total of maxillofacial fractures and they were more frequent in men (89.5 %). The age groups with the highest incidence were from 25 to 34 and from 35 to 44 years old, accounting for 30.6 %. The most frequent cause of mandibular fracture was personal aggression (68.6 %) and the commonest anatomical region was the mandibular angle (67.4 %).
