1Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagpur, India.
Purpose:
To propose a novel and viable modality for guarding an isolated zygomatic arch fracture following reduction in the initial postoperative phase.
Method:
A silicone non-invasive ventilation mask is used efficiently as a guard during the initial postoperative period following reduction of an isolated zygomatic arch fracture.
Results:
The use of a non-invasive ventilation mask as a guard is safe and versatile. However, it can be employed only in clinical situations where there are no other associated injuries or fractures of the facial skeleton.
Conclusion:
The non-invasive ventilation mask is easy to use, less traumatic to the patient in addition to the fact that it aids in guarding an isolated zygomatic arch fracture following reduction during the initial postoperative phase.
