Abstract
The management of fractures in children is complex compared to that of adults because of greater elasticity of bone, presence of tooth buds, faster healing rate, potential for future growth and lesser co-operative ability. Fractures of the mandible in children are conventionally treated by circummandibular wiring. This paper reports a variation in the technique of using circummandibular wiring with acrylic splints in the conservative treatment of mandibular fractures in two pediatric patients.
