Fractures of the mandible caused by stoning--return of an ancient entity.

Fifteen patients with mandibular fractures related to stone-throwing incidents are presented. Three illustrative cases are discussed in detail.

The ultimate aim in management is to preserve the greatest possible amount of function with the least risk and morbidity for the patients.
