Food and fluid.FRACTURE OF THE TOOTH BEARING SECTION OF THE MANDIBLE.: FRACTURE OF THE TOOTH BEARING SECTION OF THE MANDIBLE. A simple guide to the time of immbolization for fractures of the tooth bearing area. Young adult with fracture of the angle receiving early treatment in which tooth removed from fracture line. 3 week If tooth retained in fracture line : 4 week Fracture at the symphysis : 4 week. Age 40 yrs and over: 4 to 5 weeks. Children and adolescent : 2 weekINDICATIONS: INDICATIONS Absolute indications for removal of a tooth from the fracture line: 1 longitudinal fracture involving the root. 2 dislocation or subluxation of the tooth from the socket. 3 presence of periapical infection. 4 infected fracture line. 5 acute pericoronitis . Relative indication for removal of a tooth the fracture line. 1 functionless tooth which would eventually be removed electively. 2 advanced caries. 3 advanced periodontal disease. Doubtful teeth which could be added to existing dentures.Slide 22: Managment of the retained fracture line. 1 good quality intra oral periapical radiograph. 2 institution of appropriate systemic antibiotic therapy. 3 splinting of tooth if mobile. 4 endodontic therapy if pulp is exposed. 5 immediate extraction if fracture become infected.METHODS OF IMMBOILIZATION: METHODS OF IMMBOILIZATION A) OSTEOSYNTHESIS without INTERMAXILLARY fixation. 1 non- compression small plates. 2 compression plates. 3 mini plates. 4 lag screws. B) INTERMAXILLARY FIXATION. 1 bonded brackets. 2 dental wirig direct; eyelet; 3 arch bars; 4 cap splints.Slide 24: C) INTERMAXILLARY FIXATION WITH OSTEOSYNTHESIS. 1 tranosseous wiring. 2 cicumferential wiring. 3 External pin fixation. 4 bone clamps. 5 transfixation with krischner wires.MAXILLOMANDIBULAR FIXTATION: MAXILLOMANDIBULAR FIXTATION MMF CONTRAINDICATED IN EPILEPTICS, ALCHOLICS, PSHYCHIATRIC AND DIABETICSIVY LOOPS: IVY LOOPSOPEN REDUCTION… NON RIGID FIXATION: OPEN REDUCTION… NON RIGID FIXATIONSlide 28: CLASSICAL INDICATION FOR OPEN REDUCTION MALOCCLUSION DESPITE MMF DISPLACED UNFAVORABLE FX THROUGH THE ANGLE DISPLACED, UNFAVORABLE FX OF THE BODY OR THE PARASYMPHYSIS MULTIPLE FX OF THE FACIAL BONES - MANDIBLE IS FIXED FIRST PROVIDING A STABLE BASE FOR RESTORATION - NON RIGID FIXATION MORE FORGIVING, EASIER TO PLACE.

THOSE WHO CANNOT TOLERATE MMF OR GSWLag screw: Lag screwInjury to teeth: Injury to teeth Fractured teeth can become infected and cause malunion . Extraction necessary if root of tooth is fractured A tooth that is intact but in the line of the fracture can be left in place and protected by antibiotics may need extraction laterFRACTURE OF THE EDENTULOUS MANDIBLE: FRACTURE OF THE EDENTULOUS MANDIBLE METHODS OF IMMOBILIZATION. 1 direct osteosynthesis : A) bone plates B) transosseous wiring. C) circumferential wiring or straps. D) transfixation with kirschner wires. E) fixation using cortico - cancellous bone graft.Slide 34: INDIRECT SKELETAL FIXATION A) pin fixation. B) bone clamps INTERMAXILLARY FIXATION USING GUNNING- TYPE SPLINTS. A) used alone B) combined with other methods.Treatment option for dentate patient: Treatment option for dentate patient CONDYLAR FRACURES MOST OFTEN TX WITH MMF ONLY – NONDISPLACED FOR 3 WKS, FOLLOWED BY ELASTICS X 2 WEEKS DISPLACED - 6 WEEKS OF IMF MAY NEED NOTHING OR MAY NEED ORIF TO AVOID ANKYLOSING THE TMJ NEED TO MOBILIZE EVERY 2 WEEKS IF ADULT. RAMUS FX ARE NATURALLY SPLINTED BY THE PTERYGOMASSETERIC MUSCLE SLING AND USUALLY GET MMF WITH SAME TIMEFRAME AS CONDYLAR. SYMP-PARA B/C NO OCCLUSAL STOPS.

FIXATIONcomplication: complication Delayed healing(3%) and nonunion(1%) most common cause in infection second most common cause is noncompliance inadequate reduction, metabolic or nutritional deficiency can play a role Nerve paresthesia’s (Inf. Alveolar nerve) occur in 2% Malocclusion and malunion TMJ problemsComplication : Complication A study out of UCSF showed no statistically significant difference in complication rate between pts treated with miniplates versus MMF and wire fixation. Another study based on a group of patients with angle fx all treated at Parkland with nonrigid fixation or lag screw or miniplate showed the lowest complication rate.FRACTURE OF THE CONDYLAR REGION: FRACTURE OF THE CONDYLAR REGION CLASSIFICATION OF CONDYLAR FRACTURE. INTRACAPSULAR EXTRACAPSULAR Luxation / sublaxation subcondylar neck Condylar head condylar neck hair line high condylar communited low condylarTREATMENT OF CONDYLAR FRACTURES: TREATMENT OF CONDYLAR FRACTURES 3 TREATMENT OPTION. 1 functional. 2 indirect immobilization. 3 osteosynthesis . CONDYLAR FRACTURE SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED ACC TO: AGE. SURGICAL ANATOMY: Involving joint surface- intracapsular . Not involving joint surface- extracapsular . SITE; unilateral bilateral. OCCLUSION: undisturbed. malocclusion .FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBLE IN CHILDREN: FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBLE IN CHILDREN The treatment before puberty is generally of a conservative nature because of rapid healing and the adaptive potential of the bone and its contained dentition. INTERFERNCE WITH GROWTH POTENTIAL The normal growth of the mandible will be disturbed if unerupted permanent teeth or teeth germs are lost, because the alveolus will not develop normally in the areas affected.FIXATION IN THE DECIDUOUS AND MIXED DENTITION PERIOD: FIXATION IN THE DECIDUOUS AND MIXED DENTITION PERIOD FIXATION INDEPENDENT OF THE TEETH. In a very young with unerupted or very few deciduous teeth---------- use gunning type splint for the lower jaw alone and retained by two circumferential wires. Where some occlusion present bur there is wide spread of caries or deciduous teeth------use circumferential wires on each side with cicumzygomatic wires. Minimal jaw movement----------- use simple elastic bandage for chin support.Slide 49: FIXATION UTILIZING THE TEETH. Mixed dentition with inadequate retension ----------use cap splints with cement bond and circumferential wire on each side. Sufficient firm erupted deciduous and permanent teeth------eyelets and arch bars UNERUPTED TEETH. Transosseous wires. Bone plates CONTRAINDICATED PinsSpecial consideration for children: Special consideration for children Deciduous teeth vs. permanent Fractures with deciduous dentition can be treated with MMF for 2-3 weeks. Rigid techniques can harm the tooth bud. Growth center The most feared complication of a Pedi mandible fx is ankylosing of the TMJ with impact on jaw growth that causes severe facial deformity- prevent with weekly mobilizationSlide 51: IT IS HARDER TO PERIDONTAL WIRE LIGATURES AROUND DECIDOUS TEETH BECAUSE THE TOOTH IS CLOSER TO THE GINGIVAL MARGIN THAN THE CROWN OF THE PERMANENT TOOTH SO IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SECURE THE WIRES TO THE PIRIFORM RIM AND MANDIBLE BY CIRCUMANDIBULAR WIRESPOST OPERATIVE CARE: POST OPERATIVE CARE THREE PHASES. 1) the immediate post operative phase when the pt is recovering from the general anesthesia. 2) the intermediate phase before clinical bony union has become established. 3) the late postoperative phase which includes removal of fixation, bite rehabilation , physiotherapy and long term observation of the dentition in particular.Slide 54: THANK YOU You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
