  • Title: Fracture of the alveolar process in a 2-year-old child: a report of an unconventional immobilization.
    Author: Martins WD, Fávaro DM.
    Journal: J Contemp Dent Pract; 2005 Aug 15; 6(3):134-8. PubMed ID: 16127482.
    Abstract:
    This is a report of fracture of the maxillary anterior segment of the alveolar process of an energetic 2-year-old child. The fracture was reduced under general anesthesia, and the fractured segment was immobilized using only 2-0 chromic gut in order to avoid a second surgical episode to remove traditional fixation after healing. The patient was followed for one year and healed well with no evidence of the lack of vitality of the involved teeth.
