Compound splint for comminuted mandibular fracture.

H S Zaki, D C Dantini, M A Aramany

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Comminuted mandibular fractures, though rare, require specialized splinting. Combining extraoral and intraoral splints aids in stabilizing these complex facial injuries, minimizing bone removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Comminuted mandibular fractures are uncommon but severe injuries.
    • These fractures often involve significant lacerations and bone displacement.
    • Priorities in managing facial trauma include airway, bleeding, and neurologic status.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a method for stabilizing comminuted mandibular fractures.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of combined extraoral and intraoral splinting techniques.
    • To reduce the need for extensive bone resection in treating these fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing extraoral facial splints fabricated from donor facial moulages.
    • Employing intraoral splints for mandibular stabilization.
    • Using preaccident photographs and radiographs for accurate segment realignment.

    Main Results:

    • The combined splinting approach effectively stabilized comminuted mandibular fractures.
    • This technique facilitated precise realignment of fractured segments.
    • Unnecessary removal of mandibular bone was avoided.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined extraoral and intraoral splinting strategy is effective for comminuted mandibular fractures.
    • This method aids in accurate reconstruction and bone preservation.
    • Preaccident imaging is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes.
