Abstract

Mandibular fractures are one of the most common maxillofacial traumatic injuries. They are also reported to be associated with highest rate of post-operative infection. In mixed dentition, management of tooth buds in line of fracture present great challenge to the surgeon. Timely management and non-invasive techniques can help in alleviating complications associated with fractures in children. Such cases should be kept on long-term follow-up for evaluation of proper growth and development. This case report documents a child having a history of previous mandibular fracture and extra-oral sinus tract associated with infected dental follicle. Key words: Tooth buds, greenstick fracture, sinus.

Keywords
