A young man had met with a motor vehicular accident few weeks back in which he had sustained injuries to his lower jaw. He had severe jaw pain and he had great difficulty in biting, chewing, and swallowing.
A preoperative 3D CBCT scan revealed fracture in the right mandibular parasymphysis region and left angle of mandible. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully fixed and stabilized the fractured segments using stainless steel bone plates and screws. Extreme care was taken to save the mental nerve, since fracture was very close to that of the mental foramen. Accurate occlusion and bite was achieved. Post surgery radiograph showed optimum fracture fixation.
