BACKGROUND The treatment of pediatric mandibular fractures is rare, controversial, and complicated by mixed dentition. OBJECTIVES To determine if open mandibular fracture repair with intraoral and extraoral rigid plate placement, after free hand occlusal and bone reduction, without intermaxillary fixation (IMF), is appropriate and to discuss postoperative advantages, namely, maximal early ret...

a l ntraand postoperative mandibular fracture is one of he major complications associated with difficult surical extractions in the lower arch. Adult age, male gender, deep inclusion, tooth anylosis, and associated cystic or other pathological esions are usually considered predisposing factors of andibular fracture related to surgery.

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of bicycle safety helmets in preventing head injuries is well- documented. Recent studies differ regarding the effectiveness of bicycle helmets in preventing facial injuries, especially those of the mid-face and the mandible. OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted to determine the protective effect of a bicycle helmet in preventing mid-face and mandibular frac...

A clinical study to evaluate unilateral application of 10 holes dynamic compression plates (DCPs) for the treatment of bilateral fracture of the mandible insingle-humped camels. Six cases of typical mandibular fractures in the dromedary camel were treated by unilateral application of 3.5 mm 10holes DCP. Restrained of camels was performed with deep sedation using xylazine hydrochloride and ketam...

Fractures of the mandible are one of the most common maxillofacial injuries. Because the pattern and incidence of mandibular fractures vary in different countries, there is a need to evaluate aspects of mandibular trauma in Lithuania's population. In this retrospective study hospital files of Oral and maxillofacial surgery unit of Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital were examined. The data t...

RATIONALE Precise bony reduction and reconstruction of optimal contour in treating comminuted mandibular fractures is very difficult using traditional techniques and devices. The aim of this report is to introduce our experiences in using virtual surgery and three-dimensional (3D) printing technique in treating this clinical challenge. PATIENT CONCERNS A 26-year-old man presented with severe ...

This article reports the influence of an autologous leukocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) injection as a minimally invasive method on supporting wound healing processes after a mandibular odontogenic cystectomy and double mandibular fracture fixation. 113 patients were enrolled into a control group (received no L-PRP injection) and 102 patients were enrolled into an L-PRP group with an or...

We experienced a patient of subcondylar fracture who had a squared contour of the lower face with prominent angle of the mandible and masseter hypertrophy. Our patient was increasingly seeking esthetic improvement of the lower third of the face. But she did not want multi-stage operations. Thus, we decided and performed a one-stage mandibular angle ostectomy with fracture management. We have a ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS External auditory canal (EAC) trauma, although rare, can have significant long-term adverse outcomes. This study aims to investigate the frequency, treatment, and complications of external ear canal injury in association with mandibular and temporal bone trauma. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Computed tomography images with mandibular or temporal bone...

Any type of facial bone fracture creates a lot discomfort for the child as well stress parent or caregiver. The most common injury in early childhood is mandible, which occurs sequence condylar fracture, symphysis/parasymphysis and mandibular body. Depending on severity injury, jaw can be mildly displaced substantially displaced. This case study demonstrates how arch bar stabilisation simple ef...
