Abstract
An evaluation and treatment of fracture of the edentulous maxilla and/or mandible is presented. The Le-Fort classification of maxillary fractures is the foundation for the program of care. Immobilization techniques are based upon the support of a fracture by suspension from the adjacent stable segments to the modified prosthesis. The mandibular fractures are repaired by interosseous wire fixation in the body and symphysis region, the other fracture sites are supported by circumferential wiring to the prosthesis for immobilization. General principles of time of repair, diet, types of healing factors are reviewed.
