Fractured jawbone, X-ray
Fractured jawbone. Coloured X-ray of a human jaw showing a fractured lower jawbone (mandible). The fracture has occurred to the left side of the lower jawbone (bottom right, orange). The solid white regions are fillings. Symptoms of a fractured jaw range from tenderness and slight stiffness to loosening of teeth and severely restricted jaw movement. The shape of the jawbone means that a sharp blow that causes a fracture at the site of impact will often cause another on the opposite side of the mouth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured X-ray of a fractured jawbone, specifically the lower jawbone (mandible). The fracture is visibly located on the left side of the lower jawbone, depicted in an eye-catching orange hue. The solid white regions within the image represent fillings present in the patient's mouth. A fractured jaw can result in various symptoms ranging from tenderness and slight stiffness to teeth loosening and severely restricted movement of the jaw. Due to its unique shape, when a sharp blow occurs at one point causing a fracture, it often leads to another fracture on the opposite side of the mouth. The complexity and fragility of our mandibles are highlighted through this image, shedding light on how even minor accidents or impacts can lead to significant injuries. This X-ray serves as a valuable tool for medical professionals specializing in orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, and oral health care. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment that merges artistry with scientific insight. Through this print, we gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy while appreciating both the intricacies and vulnerabilities inherent within our bodies.
