Abstract

Aim: To access the most feasible method for the management of facial injuries in children without hampering the facial growth. Material & Methods: The present study was conducted on 100 child patients with facial injuries attending the outpatient department of dentistry. Results: A total of 120 children were afflicted by facial injuries, the incidence being 3.24%. Among the etiological factors it was evident that fall (45.8%) was the major etiological factor. There was 100% improvement in mouth opening postoperatively treated by both the methods. Conclusion: Most of the mandibular fractures were found in the parasymphysis region. Simple fracture seems to be commonest in the mandible. Most of the mandibular and midface fractures in children were amenable to conservative therapies except a few which required surgical intervention.
