Abstract
Five children with mandibular fractures were treated with a split acrylic splint,
which secured the fracture by wiring around the mandible. The occlusion was satisfactory,
without infection or malocclusion. None required revision, and there was no deviation
of the mandible, ankylosis, or disturbances of growth.
