Use of gunning splint for the treatment of edentulous mandibular fracture: a case report.

Shrinivas Dharaskar1, Smita Athavale1, Dilip Kakade1.   

Abstract

Treating edentulous mandibular fracture is difficult in elderly patients due to compromised medical condition of the patient and various contraindications for the surgical approach. The complication rate of infection or malunion is higher compared to fractures in younger, dentulous patients. For such conditions, 'Gunning splint' is a better option as it provides close reduction and stabilization of mandibular fracture, thus improving the prognosis.
