Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Digital Surgical Technology
Pediatric Orthodontics

Background:

Mandibular fractures in children present unique challenges for surgical treatment.
Traditional methods may lack precision and lead to complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fully digital workflow for treating pediatric mandibular fractures.
To assess the impact of digital surgical assistance on fracture healing and functional outcomes.

Main Methods:

Utilized thin-layer CT scanning for 3D reconstruction and virtual surgical planning.
Employed computer-aided design for determining and shaping internal fixation devices.
Incorporated 3D printing for surgical guides and models.
Assessed fracture healing, occlusion, jaw opening, and complications post-surgery.
Compared preoperative digital designs with postoperative imaging using 3D overlay analysis.

Main Results:

Demonstrated good fracture healing and normal occlusion in all pediatric patients.
Reported a significant improvement in the degree of jaw opening post-surgery (p < 0.05).
Observed no instances of tooth germ injury, nerve damage, or fracture displacement.
Confirmed high accuracy between preoperative digital planning and postoperative results via 3D overlay analysis.

Conclusions:

A fully digital process offers a precise, minimally invasive, and safe surgical solution for pediatric mandibular fractures.
The digital workflow leads to satisfactory clinical results and functional recovery in young patients.
