Mandibular fracture in children usually results in the involvement of a tooth bud directly in the fracture line. A study by Koenig et al (1994) proves that the injury has the potential to damage the developing tooth germ. The presence of infection may also adversely affect the developing tooth and the fracture union. Specific treatment guidelines for developing tooth buds located in the line of...

A rare case of horizontal fracture of mandibular symphysis caused by a sharp matchet cut is presented. Under local anaesthesia with sedation, the fracture site was exposed through the sutured laceration on the left submandibular region. The fracture was adequately reduced and fixed with two circum-mandibular wires. Healing was uneventful, but postoperative radiograph after six weeks revealed a ...

Background and Objectives: A retrospective study was done to report the incidence of mandibular fractures in children up to fifteen years of age seen in Rizgaree teaching hospital /Erbil / Kurdistan region of Iraq. Methods: The patient’s records of 62 injured child aged 0-15 years, from 1/1/ 2002 to 31/12/2008 were retrieved and relevant data was recorded and analysed. A data collection sheet w...

The treatment of mandibular fractures has been in a constant state of evolution over the past few decades. The most significant advancements related to the management of fractures of the man‐ dible are based on specific technical refinements in the methods of internal fixation. Also there is improvement in the knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology, pharmacology and biomaterial science which inf...

Mandibular gunshot injuries are esthetically and functionally devastating, causing comminuted fractures and adjacent tissue destruction depending on the weapon gauge, projectile shape, impact kinetic energy, and density of the injured structures. If the mandibular fracture is not adequate or promptly treated, the broken fragments will fail to heal. In case of a treatment delay, progressive bone...

The principles of management of mandibular fractures differ in children when compared to adults and depend on the specific age-related status of the growing mandible and the developing dentition. This paper presents a case report with a complex facial trauma affecting the mandibular body and condyle region and dentoalveolar complex. Clinical examination revealed soft tissue injuries, limited mo...

Mandibular fracture treatments are to improve the patients function and aesthetics, but it is not uncommon that postoperative complications be present. Postoperative include surgical site infection, nonunion, malunion, malocclusion, nerve injury, scar tissue, Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), as well dental problem. This literature review aimed understand describe of mandibular fractures...

Mandibular condylar fractures have a high incidence but there is no consensus regarding the best method of treatment. The aim of this paper is to describe the surgical management of a subcondylar fracture in a 23-year-old male. The fracture was treated by plating the inferior border of the mandibular ramus with access to the fracture line via a retromandibular approach combined with a semi-prea...

93 and can be outlined with CEA and EMA immuno­ histochemical markers [4]. Further, most metastatic adenocarcinomas are positive for CEA and EMA stains. However, CEA is negative in most EPCs but can be positive in tumors containing well­formed ducts [2]. To achieve a definitive diagnosis, a well­ handled specimen and expert pathology and oncology departments are required. Histological findings ...
