Isolated fracture of the alveolar process is the result of an inflection or shift in the place of application of force. Most widespread classification of fractures of the alveolar process, developed KS Sound (1968). According to this classification are the following types of fractures: ▲ partial – the line of fracture passes through the outer part of the alveolar process; fracture occurs outside of a compact disc within the wells of several teeth and part of the interdental partitions; ▲ part – the line of fracture in the form of cracks through the entire thickness of the alveolar process, capturing the outer and inner compact discs, sponge, displacement of fragments does not occur; ▲ complete – two vertical lines of fracture united by one horizontal and pass through the entire thickness of the alveolar process; ▲ comminuted – the line of fractures intersect in several directions; ▲ to the bone defect – separation of broken alveolar bone.
