fa Rapid, conservative, multidisciplinary miniscrew-assisted approach for treatment of mandibular fractures following plane crash ارتودنسی Orthodontics پژوهشي Research Mandibular fractures are among the most common facial injuries. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of simultaneous usage of miniscrews and direct bonding techniques without open reduction in an extensive traumatized patient. A 25-year-old girl with multiple injuries in the head and facial region 1 month after a plane crash accident was referred to manage the mandibular fractures. Due to the presence of multiple injuries, a conservative treatment of symphysiseal fracture was performed. In order to keep the fractured fragments of the mandible close together, the anterior teeth of the lower arch were tied by means of the orthodontic wire. Ten miniscrews were used to improve the anchorage units and also, settling the occlusion by means of light intermaxillary elastics. Following the active treatment, clinical and radiographic analysis showed satisfactory healing without any periodontal involvement of the teeth in the fracture line.<hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><b>Source: </b>Dental Research Journal </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><a href="http://drj.mui.ac.ir/index.php/drj/article/view/1508" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Mandibular fracture, miniscrew, orthodontics, trauma 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-3394&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Azita Tehranchi 100319475328460015591 100319475328460015591 No Preventive Dentistry Research Center, Research Institute of Dental Sciences Hossein Behnia 100319475328460015592 100319475328460015592 No Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Farnaz Younessian farnaz.younessian@ gmail.com 100319475328460015593 100319475328460015593 Yes Orthodontics, Dental School, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mostafa Sadeghi Chochani 100319475328460015594 100319475328460015594 No Orthodontics, Dental School, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
