[Fractures of the mandibular collum in childhood--a long-term follow-up with orthopantomography].

Abstract

The study including fifty children younger than 10-years-old with dislocated unilateral collum fractures concerns the chronological development of morphological alterations in the orthopantomogramm. Regardless of fracture type, the radiographs indicate, that a very good restitution can be attained with an exclusive functional therapy using an activator in all analyzed patients. A realignment can not be found.
