AIM
Treatment by the multidisciplinary-team approach for jaw fractures, and the role of the orthodontist, are discussed and illustrated through case reports.
METHODS
Two cases of jaw fractures treated with orthodontic techniques, as an alternative noninvasive procedure, are presented. One subject with a fresh mandibular fracture did not consent to surgery, despite a good indication for open reduction. The other subject had maljoined mandibular fractures from surgery, with insufficient occlusal consideration.
CONCLUSION
Orthodontists, as well as oral surgeons, participate in every stage of the treatment of jaw fractures, including treatment decisions, in-patient management, dietary guidance, etc. Orthodontists also attend surgical operations to determine the most stable occlusion, making possible more detailed occlusal reconstruction.
