Abstract
Fractures of the mandible are less common in pediatric populations than adults due to child protected anatomic features. Treatment protocols of mandibular fractures in pediatric populations differ from adults due to mandibular growth and developing dentition. This case report presents a step wise treatment of a sixyear-old boy with fractured mandibular parasymphysis by using acrylic cap splint and circummandibular wiring.
