Abstract

A five-month-old toy poodle was referred for treatment of bilateral mandibular fractures. Preoperative skulland dental radiographs showed rostral mandibular fractures and permanent teeth that had not yet erupted. In additionto providing stability for the healing of fractures, it is very important to focus on restoring normal occlusion. Themandibular fractures were repaired using interdental wiring in a dentate area where the deciduous canines and fourthpremolars were stable and could be used to anchor the interdental fixation. In the absence of an erupted permanentmandibular first molar, the modified Risdon wiring was performed using the deciduous mandibular fourth premolarsas anchor teeth. An intraoral splint was placed on the mandibular teeth using self-curing composite resin. Five monthsafter surgery, the patient had experienced no complications, and the permanent teeth had erupted normally. In thiscase, which involves a small-breed puppy with deciduous dentition, treatment with a wire-reinforced interdental splintusing intact deciduous fourth premolar teeth as anchor teeth can be considered as a suitable method for rostralmandibular fracture restoration.
