ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to analyze the different treatment options practiced in pediatric mandibular fracture patients at L.U.H Hyderabad. Maxillofacial fractures are infrequent in the pediatric population, and their treatment is unique due to the psychological, physiological, developmental and anatomical characteristics of children. Besides this it is difficult to examine child both clinically and radiographically.
