Abstract

Mandibular fracture in pediatric patients is rare when compared with the number of mandibular fractures that occur within the adult population. Because of the unique anatomy, dentition and growth of a child, management of a pediatric mandibular fracture is complicated. There are various treatment modalities present to manage a mandibular parasymphysis fracture which have their own complications. Knowledge of the association of dental injuries and maxillofacial fracture is a basic tool for their prevention. In the present case report, we have discussed our approach to manage a mandibular parasymphyseal fracture of a five year old child with circummandibular wiring and follow up was done for 6 months.
