In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study is conducted to evaluate the accuracy of 3D-printed acrylic occlusal cap splint fabricated by computer-guided software in reduction and fixation of pediatric mandibular fractures. There are a wide range of choices in the management of mandibular pediatric trauma, ranging from observation and follow-up, conservative treatment, and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Mandibular growth, with the presence of tooth buds, along with deciduous/ permanent teeth eruption (mixed dentition) favor the use of conservative approaches in the management of pediatric mandibular fractures, where splints are fixed over the mandible by the use of circum-mandibular wiring (non-rigid fixation). The virtual surgical planning is increasing in popularity in craniomaxillofacial surgery. There are multiple advantages that this study offers. First, it is suitable for the patients with a comple
