Novel approach for intermaxillary fixation of fractured mandible using gunning splints for easy disengagement: A case report

摘要

Abstract Intermaxillary fixation of gunning splints with an archwire necessitates precision in removal, which can prove hazardous during a life‐threatening emergency. This case report describes the treatment of parasymphseal fracture of a patient hailing from remote location with inaccessibility to health care system. Intermaxillary fixation was performed with gunning splints using heavy orthodontic elastics, facilitating ease of removal in case of an emergency.
