description Trauma during childhood can have an extreme mental jolt on the minds of growing children. The fundamentals of treatment of jaw fractures vary among children and adults. In children, minimal manipulation of facial skeleton is necessary to rehabilitate the supporting bony framework to pre-trauma condition. The procedure should not only be non-intrusive but also cause minimum malfunction and aesthetic disability. The case report presents the successful management of a seven-year-old boy with mandibular symphysis fracture using an acrylic cap splint retained with circum-mandibular wiring.
