SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Complications associated with the treatment of fractures of the dentate portion of the mandible in paediatric patients: a systematic review.
This study aimed to answer the following question: What is the best treatment option for fractures of the dentate portion of the mandible in paediatric patients when considering the occurrence of postoperative complications? A systematic literature review was done using the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases, and 1186 articles on the topic were found. Twelve of these articles were included in the final review after the full texts had been read. A sample of 178 paediatric patients was obtained. In the six cases in which treatment was surgery with titanium plate fixation, there were no postoperative complications, whereas in the 141 cases in which treatment was surgery with biodegradable plates, there were 12 postoperative complications, and in the 31 cases in which treatment was non-surgical, there were three postoperative complications. A connection between the best treatment and the number of postoperative complications in fractures of the dentate portion of the mandible in paediatric patients could not be established; however, the occurrence of postoperative complications was low for both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
