Abstract
This report describes 2 infants with mandibular fractures. Reduction of the fracture and fixation using a thermoforming splint with circummandibular wiring under general anaesthesia is thought to be an adequate surgical method to treat displaced mandibular body fractures in infants.
Key words: Fracture fixation, Infant, Mandibular fractures, Splints
