Dental Impression Compound for Mandibular Bilateral Parasymphysis Fracture Reduction

Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

Introduction

Dental impression compound is a rigid impression material mainly used for prosthetic work in dentistry. It is usually manipulated in a temperature controlled water or air bath.

Materials and methods

When there is a fracture of bilateral parasymphysis there are chances lingual splaying and thus causing hampering of occlusion and function for the patient.

Conclusion

Thus, we propose that impression compound is a quick, economical option for prevention of lingual splaying during bilateral parasymphysis fracture reduction. The hardened impression compound will act as a lingual splint in order to prevent splaying of the lingual cortical bone which will help in ease of fracture reduction of bilateral parasymphyseal region.
