SINGH, Jasmeet et al. Circummandibular wiring made easy: a case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.4, pp.191-195. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2012.08.004.

Mandibular fractures are less common in children as compared to adults. The treatment plan in children has to be modified as compared to adults considering the presence of tooth buds and potential disturbances in growth. Use of acrylic splints has been one of the popular techniques in children because of its relatively easy placement and reduced risk of hindrances to growth of jaw. These splints have been traditionally been fixed with the help of cements and circummandibular wires. We describe the use of intravenous cannula stilete instead of traditional bone awl to secure the splint in place.

Palabras clave : Paediatric mandibular fracture; Circummandibular wiring; Intravenous cannula stilete.
