Introduction: traumas are the fourth cause of death in general population and the second among young people. It has been reported an variable epidemiology around the world associated to demographic and socio-cultural differences, in Latin America there are few reports.
Objective: to know the epidemiology of mandible fractures surgically treated in maxillofacial surgery service at Carlos Manuel de Cespedes hospital, Bayamo, Cuba.
Methodological design: a quantitative retrospective descriptive study in maxillofacial surgery service at Carlos Manuel de Cespedes hospital, which consisted in data collection from clinical records from patients surgically treated for mandible fractures from January 2011 to December 2015. Data were gathered in a data base in Microsoft Access 2007 to be tabulated and graphics were made from Microsoft Excel 2007.
Results: from 262 face fractures, 74 clinical records of surgery for mandible fractures were available for analysis. Proportion men: women was 8:1, the age group more affected was from 20 to 29 years old. Attacks by thirds were the most frequent cause. Most of the patients were treated in 8 days from admission as an average.
Conclusion: these results in general agree with literature, but the associations between affected anatomical site and etiology.
