A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
Mandibular fracture treatment depends on the site and the extent of the fracture. In most cases a fracture can be repaired using small incisions that are hidden in the gum lines of the mouth. Special thin plates and materials are then placed directly onto the bone fragments to stabilize the fracture.
