---- Treatment Of Fractures ---- V.V Imp Concepts

Question 1

General principle of management of ANY Mandibular # for that matter, in mixed dentition or 8 yr old child… (And maybe a deciduous dentition Mandible too… Check this..)

Answer 1

See! Basically ‘ANY’ # of Mandible in an 8 yr old/ mixed dentition is treated with ACRYLIC CAP SPLINT with Circumferential wiring… (I already know why circumferential wiring — it’s to prevent damage to perm. tooth buds (Rm SIR’s explanation!)

Question 2

Pediatric Mandibular #’s — Imp. Pts —

Answer 2

** See! Majority of the body and symphysis fractures in children are undisplaced because of elasticity of mandible and embedded tooth buds that holds the fragments together “like glue” [6,7]. If displaced, closed reduction and immobilization are performed.
