Unlabelled: Mandibular fractures in children, when compared to adults are quite less common. The treatment approaches for mandibular fractures differ in children due to their growth and developing dentition. Minimal manipulation of bony architecture is done to achieve a stable position. Thus a closed reduction is preferred in children. This article presents a case of an 8-year-old boy, mandibular left parasymphysis fracture with displacement of the left dentoalveolar segment which was managed by a novel treatment approach using a unilateral cap splint with interelastic traction.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the efficiency of maxillary protraction achieved through facemask treatment with either a hybrid-hyrax (HH) or an acrylic cap splint (ACS) appliance when used in conjunction with alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) or conventional rapid maxillary expansion (RME) protocols.
Methods: This study analyzed a total of 60 patients in 4 groups of 15 patients each and treated with HH-Alt-RAMEC protocol (HH-Alt, aged 10.38 ± 1.

Pediatric maxillofacial fractures, which are not very prevalent, account for around 5% of all face injuries. Children under the age of 13 are more susceptible to craniofacial injuries because they have a larger cerebral mass-to-body ratio than adults. The fracture pattern in children does not resemble that of adults, due to which the treatment of pediatric fractures differs from that of adults and can pose substantial difficulties to the pediatric dentist due to many factors, including the complex anatomy of the developing jaw.

Introduction: Maxillofacial trauma in children consists of >15% of all facial fractures, which is usually associated with sports injuries and falls while playing. Pediatric mandibular fractures are relatively less frequent when compared to adults, and the reason can be attributed to the child's protected anatomic features and infrequent exposure of children to alcohol-related road accidents. Management principles vary in children, and the main concern is about mandibular growth and the development of dentition.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effects and stresses on bone, PDL, cementum and displacement along X-,Y- and Z-axis during true intrusion of molars using mini-implants with finite element analysis; the secondary objective of the study was to find out the best method for posterior intrusion in clinical practice.
Material And Methods: A 3D finite element method was used to simulate true molar intrusion using sliding mechanics. Two groups were made, with mini-implants placed on buccal side and palatal side with a cap splint for MODEL1, and a single mini-implant placed buccally with transpalatal arch (TPA) for MODEL2.
