Abstract
ABSTRACT Traumatic dentoalveolar injuries in pediatric patients are a common occurrence. Treatment strategies for managing mandibular fractures in pediatric patients are dissimilar to that of adult patients. The dynamic nature of bone, developing tooth buds, parent’s levels of apprehension, and the patient’s level of cooperation are some of the factors which dictate the treatment of choice. Treatment rendered should aim at the stabilization of fractured segments with minimum invasiveness. The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of mandibular symphysis fracture in a 1-year-old boy using an acrylic splint which is stabilized with circummandibular wiring.
