PURPOSE Symphyseal and parasymphyseal fractures and bilateral condylar fractures represent a pattern that is quite challenging to manage. This study evaluated the treatment outcomes of a group of patients who underwent surgery using miniplate fixation for anterior mandibular fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective case series study reviewed patients with bilateral condylar fractur...

Introduction: Mandibular fractures are the most common facial affecting various anatomical sites of mandible. Among mandibular fractures, management condylar remains a challenging task for surgeons. Case Report: We report case 28 year old male patient who presented with pain in chin and restricted mouth opening. Computed tomography revealed sagittal fracture right head medial displacement fract...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field on the healing of mandibular fractures. Pulsed electromagnetic fields have been shown to accelerate healing of fractures of the long bones. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 12 patients with mandibular fractures were selected for the present study. Each patient was treated by closed reduction using...

The management of midfacial fractures includes the treatment of facial fractures, dentoalveolar trauma, and soft-tissue injuries, as well as associated injuries, mainly of the head and neck [1]. The management of fractures of the maxillofacial complex remains a challenge for the oral maxillofacial surgeon, demanding both skill and expertise [2]. The success of treatment and implementation of pr...

The recognition and treatment of feline dental and oral lesions are important components in the successful management of feline health. Dental and oral lesions in cats may have a variety of presentations and treatment options. Feline dental and oral lesions include: periodontal disease, tooth resorptive lesions, fractured teeth, mandibular swelling, perialveolar osteitis, gingivostomatitis, fel...

The recognition and treatment of feline dental and oral pathology is an important component in successful management of feline health. Dental and oral lesions in cats may have a variety of presentations and treatment options. Feline dental and oral lesions include periodontal disease, tooth resorptive lesions, fractured teeth, mandibular swelling, perialveolar osteitis, gingivostomatitis, felin...

Purpose: The study was carried out to assess the use of 1.5 mm low profile titanium miniplate as a tension band in the treatment of mandibular parasymphyseal fractures. Patients and Methods: The study was performed on 12 patients; 10 males and 2 females suffering from mandibular parasymphyseal fractures with/without other fractures in the maxillofacial region. Patients were selected from those ...

INTRODUCTION Treatment of mandibular fractures commonly involves the use of arch bars in temporary maxillo-mandibular fixation (also called intermaxillary fixation) to aid bone plating, for the postoperative application of light elastic traction to correct minor occlusal discrepancies and intermaxillary fixation for post reduction immobilisation. The purpose of this paper is to describe a quick...

This systematic review searched three of the most used databases to assess if current evidence suggested a difference between surgical and non-surgical management mandibular condyle fractures in paediatric patients.

In the treatment of mandibular condyle fracture, conservative treatment using closed reduction or surgical treatment using open reduction can be used. Management of mandibular condylar fractures remains a source of ongoing controversy in oral and maxillofacial trauma. For each type of condylar fracture,the treatment method must be chosen taking into consideration the presence of teeth, fracture...
