Lateral Compression Open Cap Splint (MacLennan) - A Treatment Modality for Pediatric Mandibular Parasymphysis Fracture: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Facial injuries are the most disturbing situations in pediatric patients. The treatment options for the traumatic injuries in pediatric group is controversial as any surgical intervention in young children may disturb the jaw growth or may even cause damage to the tooth buds in the jaws. The anatomical complexity and the high osteogenic potential of the bones in growing children allows successful outcome of conservative approaches for facial bone fractures. This case report documents successful conservative management of mandibular parasymphysis fracture using Lateral Compression Open Cap Splint (MacLennan) in 3 year old patient.
