Summary

Maxillofacial fractures are rare in children under 10. This study details managing an isolated mandibular fracture in a 7-month-old using mini plates to protect developing teeth.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Maxillofacial fractures are infrequent in children (<10 years), accounting for 7.3% of cases.
  • Isolated mandibular fractures are particularly rare in young children due to mandibular resilience, with reported incidence of 1-5%.

Observation:

  • This paper presents a case study of a 7-month-old infant with an isolated mandibular fracture.
  • The management involved surgical repositioning and osteosynthesis using titanium mini plates.

Findings:

  • The chosen treatment method successfully managed the isolated mandibular fracture.
  • Utilizing titanium mini plates prevented damage to the developing tooth germs, a critical concern in pediatric patients.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the effectiveness of surgical repositioning with mini plates for pediatric mandibular fractures.
  • The case also raises awareness of potential child abuse as an underlying cause, emphasizing the need for societal and dental professional collaboration.
