This narrative review evaluates the literature on the management of mandibular condyle fractures in growing patients. It aims to illustrate some fundamental biological principles and to offer a series of considerations applicable to clinical practice. The discussion is based on 116 papers published in PubMed and two relevant textbooks.

- Defects in the maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridges are common, and the gold standard treatment involves reconstructing these areas with microvascular bone grafts followed by dental rehabilitation.
- A study analyzed the quality of life (QoL) of 58 patients post-reconstruction, finding that those with malignant diseases and osteoradionecrosis reported poorer oral health-related QoL (OHrQoL) scores compared to those with benign diseases or cleft palate.
- Patients using implant-supported prostheses had the highest QoL scores, while those with removable dentures or no prosthetics had the lowest, indicating that both the type of underlying condition and the type of prosthetic used significantly affect QoL after treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric mandibular condyle fractures can lead to serious issues like pain and facial deformities if not treated correctly, yet there’s no agreed-upon treatment method.
- A study analyzed how these fractures are managed in children aged 0 to 16 across 14 maxillofacial departments worldwide, examining treatment approaches over an 11-year period.
- The research found that treatment methods varied significantly among departments, with expectant management, closed treatment, and open reduction being utilized, all showing effectiveness with low complication rates.
