Mandibular fractures comprises of more than half of the facial fractures in children. The treatment in paediatric patients can get complicated due to the presence of growth centers in mandible along with the smaller size of the jaws and numerous tooth buds present in them.

This article discusses the management of left parasymphysis fracture in a 9-year old child,where the reduction of fracture, construction, and fixation of open cap splint with circum-mandibular wiring was made under deep sedation. This splint limited the discomfort and morbidity and served the purpose of reduction of the fracture.
