a conservative method for treating severely displaced pediatric mandibular fractures: an effective alternative technique
Authors
abstract
pediatric mandibular fractures have been successfully managed in various ways. the use of a lingual splint is an option. this article presents a 4-year old boy who was treated by an alternative conservative method with a combination of an arch bar plus a lingual splint, circum-mandibular wiring and imf for the reduction, stabilization and fixation of a severely displaced bilateral man dibular body fracture. this technique is a reliable, noninvasive procedure; it also limits the discomfort and morbidity associated with maxillomandibular fixation or open reduction and internal fixation in pediatric patients
