mandibular fractures are among the most common facial injuries. this case report demonstrates the efficacy of simultaneous usage of miniscrews and direct bonding techniques without open reduction in an extensive traumatized patient. a 25-year-old girl with multiple injuries in the head and facial region 1 month after a plane crash accident was referred to manage the mandibular fractures. due to...

Mandible Fractures account for 5% of all facial fractures. The most common mandible fractures are those in the condylar region followed by angle and then body A good thing about Mandibular children comparison to adults is that their embedded tooth buds hold fragments like a glue. Also, neck which short thick tends resist fracture therefore majority un-displaced type. purpose present case series...

PURPOSE In this study we tried to analyze the stress distribution in a symphyseal fractured human mandible reduced by 2 different methods--reduction with 1 miniplate or with 2 miniplates--by using finite element (FE) analysis, and then compared the results with an intact mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-dimensional FE models of an intact mandible and symphyseal fractured mandibles reduce...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the association between dental injuries and facial fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a prospective study of 273 patients examined at a level 1 trauma center in Switzerland from September 2005 until August 2006 who had facial fractures. Medical history and clinical and radiologic examination findings were recorded to evaluate demograp...

PURPOSE: Although condyle is one of the frequent site of fracture in the mandible, anatomical and functional complexity of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) make the treatment policy of mandibular condyle fracture controversial. 2,3 Watanabe et al. reported a novel treatment for mandibular condylar fractures: a dynamic distraction treatment. 4 This application of a dynamic internal distraction ...

The results of experimental studies on the zygomatic arch during the growth period, through excisions or fractures, are controversial. In this study, the effect of a discontinuity of the zygomatic arch on facial growth was experimentally evaluated, without tissual damage or deviations. One-month-old rats were submitted to a surgical procedure in order to obtain a one-milimeter-wide discontinuit...

The aim of the present case report was to demonstrate vertical gain in posterior resorbed mandible utilizing use an Allograft Customized Bone Block. presents a 66-year-old healthy female nonsmoker who lost her right mandibular molars long time ago. In past, she had implant placement, which failed due fracture implant. Due high risk nerve damage, left jaw and completely covered with bone. Since ...

Introduction The ability to treat fracture with open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) has dramatically revolutionized the approach to mandible fracture. With OR/IF, the postoperative role of rigid maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) has declined, but it is used to maintain proper occlusion until internal fixation of the fracture is achieved. Objective To assess intraoperative manual MMF dur...

The treatment of pediatric maxillofacial fractures is unique due to the psychological, physiological, developmental, and anatomical characteristics of children. Method. This case report describes the management of symphysis fracture of mandible in a 5-year-old boy. The fracture was treated by acrylic splint with circummandibular wiring. Results. The splint was removed after 3 weeks. The patient...
