N2  - Mandibular fractures in infants are rare. During the last 50 years, only 13 cases have been recorded in the literature. In this study seven cases of mandibular fractures in infants treated within a period of 3 years are reported. The male-to-female ratio was 6:1. All fractures were caused by short falls, and in all cases the symphysis region was the injured site. The treatment approach was conservative, without any active intervention. The results were satisfactory; perfect alignment of the fractured bone segments was achieved in all cases.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
