Abstract: Mandible Fractures account for 5% of all facial fractures. The most common of mandible fractures are those in the condylar region followed by angle and then by body fractures. A good thing about Mandibular Fractures in children in comparison to adults is that their embedded tooth buds hold the mandible fragments like a glue. Also, the condylar neck which is short and thick tends to resist the fracture therefore the majority of mandible fractures in children are of un-displaced type. The purpose of the present … Show more

Background The management of facial fractures varies due to a variety of reasons in the pediatric age groups. The clinicians should therefore attune themselves to managing pediatric patients and the variations thereof. Every modality mentioned in the literature has its own advantages and disadvantages. The right choice of treatment by clinicians depends on their knowledge of pediatric anatomy, physiology, age-dependent bone growth, and the type and extent of fractures. Three different modalities of treatment in the form of circummandibular wiring, intermaxillary fixation and open reduction, with internal fixation were rendered to the patients, considering various factors such as the patient’s age, location of the fracture line, status of occlusion, and dentition. All three modalities showed good results in the form of adequate reduction and no post-op complications. Conclusion Pediatric trauma is a challenging entity for the surgeon. The choice of the ideal treatment modality ultimately depends on the presence of tooth buds and the maintenance of uninterrupted growth of the jaw bone. Thus, a well-thought-out and customized treatment plan should be devised for each individual case.

Challenges and Future Perspectives for Additively Manufactured Polylactic Acid Using Fused Filament Fabrication in Dentistry

Additive manufacturing (AM), which is also called rapid prototyping/3D printing/layered manufacturing, can be considered as a rapid conversion between digital and physical models. One of the most used materials in AM is polylactic acid (PLA), which has advantageous material properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity. For many medical applications, it is considered as a leading biomaterial. In dentistry, in addition to its uses in dental models (education, teaching, simulation needs), it can be used for therapeutic objectives and tissue engineering. The fused filament fabrication (FFF) technique, also called fused deposition modeling (FDM), is widely used as an AM technique to perform complex and functional geometries directly from CAD files. In this review, the objective was to present the different challenges and future perspectives of this additively manufactured material by using FFF in dentistry areas. Some suggestions for future directions to extend to more dental applications (support structures, lattice structures, etc.) and to consider more criteria (sustainability, uncertainty etc.) will be discussed. Advanced studies such as machine learning (ML) techniques will be suggested to reduce the failure cases when using the additively manufactured PLA by FFF in dentistry.

Traumatic dentoalveolar injuries in pediatric patients are a common occurrence. Treatment strategies for managing mandibular fractures in pediatric patients are dissimilar to that of adult patients. The dynamic nature of bone, developing tooth buds, parent’s levels of apprehension, and the patient’s level of cooperation are some of the factors which dictate the treatment of choice. Treatment rendered should aim at the stabilization of fractured segments with minimum invasiveness. The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of mandibular symphysis fracture in a 1-year-old boy using an acrylic splint which is stabilized with circummandibular wiring.
