  • Title: [Jaw block at maximal mouth aperture in subcondylar fractures in the very young child].
    Author: Deffez JP, Bordais P, Gros F.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1975 Sep; 76(6):429-42. PubMed ID: 1061239.
    Abstract:
    In one case involving post-traumatic temporo-mandibular ankylosis, the authors suggest a means of bi-maxillary blockage at the maximum buccal aperture which they consider prevents this type of complication in very young children presenting with bicondylar fracture. The simplicity of this method, the possibility of carrying it out where the milk teeth are not yet complete, the fact that it is well-tolerated by the children it has been tried out on, make this, in their opinion, the procedure of choice.
