ALVARADO-MONGE, Carlos; VENTURA-PONCE, Helard; RUIZ-IMBERT, Ana Cecilia y MIRANDA-CASTILLO, Emylú. Management of a complicated mandibular fracture in a pediatric patient with primary dentition. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.4, pp.270-277. ISSN 1019-4355.
Maxillofacial trauma in the pediatric population differs from trauma in adults because of facial growth potential, smaller bones, faster tissue regeneration, deciduous or mixed dentition and the difficulties managing their behavior. Specifically , treatment of pediatric mandibular fractures is controversial and complicated because it can have a negative effect on mandibular growth, temporomandibular joint mobility, development and growth of tooth germs, particularly at the stage of deciduous or mixed dentition. Among the treatment options reported in the literature, conservative management, close reduction and surgery are included. The purpose of this report is to describe the complication and definitive surgical management of an unfavorable mandibular fracture in a five years old child, in primary dentition, with nonabsorbable material rigid osteosynthesis
