Abstract

Anatomic differences of the primary dentition may hinder traditional methods of intermaxillary fixation. Furthermore, the presence of both the primary and permanent dentition can complicate establishing, and maintaining, the preinjury occlusion. The treating surgeon must be aware of these differences for optimal treatment outcomes. This article discusses and illustrates methods that facial trauma surgeons can use to establish intermaxillary fixation in children aged 12 years and younger.
