Dislocated or fractured jaw: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Malocclusion is the most obvious sign of a dislocation or fracture. Other signs include mandibular pain, swelling, ecchymosis, loss of function, and asymmetry. In addition, mandibular fractures that damage the alveolar nerve produce paresthesia or anesthesia of the chin and lower lip. Maxillary fractures produce infraorbital paresthesia and commonly accompany fractures of the nasal and orbital complex.

Dislocations and subluxations: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Dislocations and subluxations produce deformity around the joint, change the involved extremity’s length, impair joint mobility, and cause point tenderness. When the injury results from trauma, it’s extremely painful and commonly accompanies joint surface fractures. Even in the absence of concomitant fractures, the displaced bone may damage surrounding muscles, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels and may cause bone necrosis, especially if reduction is delayed.
