Caudal mandibular and TMJ injuries are difficult to access and stabilize using direct fixation techniques, thus indirect fixation is commonly employed. The immediate goals of fixation include stabilization for return to normal occlusion and function with the long-term objective of bony union. Indirect fixation techniques commonly used for stabilization of caudal mandibular and temporomandibular joint fracture\/luxation include maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) with acrylic composite, interarcade wiring, tape muzzles, and the bignathic encircling and retaining device (BEARD) technique. This article introduces a modification of the previously described \u201clabial reverse suture through buttons\u201d technique used by Koestlin et al and the \u201clabial locking with buttons\u201d technique by Rocha et al. In cases with minimally displaced subcondylar and pericondylar fractures without joint involvement, the labial button technique can provide sufficient stabilization for healing. Advantages of the modified labial button technique include ease of application, noninvasive nature, and use of readily available materials. The construct can remain in place for a variable of amount of time, depending on its intended purpose. It serves as an alternative to the tape muzzle, which is rarely tolerated by cats. This technique can be easily used in conjunction with other maxillomandibular repairs, such as cerclage wire fixation of mandibular symphyseal separation. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate a modified labial button technique for maintaining occlusion of feline caudal mandibular fractures\/TMJ luxations in a step-by-step fashion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0898756416637172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,2]],"date-time":"2016-06-02T07:58:44Z","timestamp":1464854324000},"page":"47-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Modified Labial Button Technique for Maintaining Occlusion After Caudal Mandibular Fracture\/Temporomandibular Joint Luxation in the Cat"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Alice E.","family":"Goodman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Department, Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, West Islip, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel T.","family":"Carmichael","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentistry Department, Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, West Islip, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0898756416637172","first-page":"259","volume-title":"Veterinary Dentistry Principles and Practice","author":"Wiggs RB","year":"1997"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr2-0898756416637172","first-page":"3","volume":"7","author":"Rudy RL","year":"1992","journal-title":"Semin Vet Med Surg (Small Anim)"},{"key":"bibr3-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-09-03-0034"},{"key":"bibr4-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7020-4618-6.00029-4"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr5-0898756416637172","first-page":"156","volume":"24","author":"Koestlin R","year":"1996","journal-title":"Tierartzl Prax"},{"key":"bibr6-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15361\/2175-0106.2013v29n2p83-87"},{"key":"bibr7-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7020-4618-6.00028-2"},{"key":"bibr8-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7020-4618-6.00033-6"},{"key":"bibr9-0898756416637172","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.2014.12138.x"}],"container-title":["Journal of Veterinary Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0898756416637172","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0898756416637172","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0898756416637172","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T00:23:07Z","timestamp":1777508587000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0898756416637172"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,3]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0898756416637172"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0898756416637172","relation":{},"ISSN":["0898-7564","2470-4083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0898-7564","type":"print"},{"value":"2470-4083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,3]]}}}
