Management of mandibular fracture in pediatric patient: A case report
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Incidence of maxillofacial injuries in children is less than the adults which may be attributed to the protection provided to them by the parents. However, such injuries still occur. Of them, mandibular fracture is very common which may occur due to many reasons, of which the most common one is fall from height or sport-related injuries. The effect of trauma in pediatric patients differs from an adult as they may lead to growth disturbance of the jaw. Further management may be affected by developing dentition within the traumatized jaw. Therefore, choice of treatment option depends on multiple factors. In the present case report, we have discussed our own approach of treatment of mandibular fracture in a child and discussed significance of splints with the circumferential wiring in select cases.
