Rapid, conservative, multidisciplinary miniscrew-assisted approach for treatment of mandibular fractures following plane crash
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the presence of multiple injuries, a conservative treatment of symphysiseal fracture was performed. In order to keep the fractured fragments of the mandible close together, the anterior teeth of the lower arch were tied by means of the orthodontic wire. Ten miniscrews were used to improve the anchorage units and also, settling the occlusion by means of light intermaxillary elastics. Following the active treatment, clinical and radiographic analysis showed satisfactory healing without any periodontal involvement of the teeth in the fracture line.

Condylar fractures in children are especially important because of the risk of a mandibular growth-center being affected in the condylar head, which can lead to growth retardation and facial asymmetry. The purpose of this article is to follow up the two and half year clinical and radiological evaluation of the conservative treatment of a 10 year-old patient, who had a unilateral green-stick typ...

Abstract The prevalence of mandibular fracture is relatively lower in the pediatric population compared to adults. The treatment of these fractures is more challenging for oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to the concerns regarding mandible growth and the presence of developing tooth buds. According to the literature, conventional methods (e.g., soft diets or closed red...
