Abstract: Objective: To compare the scores of the three kinds of trauma scoring methods for mandibular fracture injury and to analyze the statistical evaluation of the scores of the following mandibular injuries. Methods: A total of 372 patients (wound period <2 weeks) with mandibular trauma were assessed with MISS, MFISS, and mandibular injury severity scores (S5) for maxillary trauma scores. The results were compared and analyzed. Results: The MISS method and the MFISS method could accurately differentiate single from multiple mandibular injuries. They were more meaningful for evaluating different sites of mandibular fractures compared with the mandibular injury severity score (S5) method. Conclusion: For mandibular fractures, the mandibular injury score (S5) is less sensitive than the MISS and MFISS.
