Imaging tests revealed a minimally displaced complete oblique fracture of the left mandible with fracture of the left mandibular first premolar tooth and incisor tooth.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Conservative treatment was established by placing a chin sling (CS) to immobilize the jaw and a nasogastric tube for nutritional support. Imaging tests repeated 3 weeks later showed initial callus formation, and the conservative treatment was discontinued. Follow-up examinations showed appetite and progressive weight gain. Five months later, the clinical crown of the left mandibular incisor was absent and a resorptive lesion on the left mandibular first premolar tooth was detected. Complete ossification of the fracture without premolar and moler teeth elongation was observed on control imaging tests. Ten months after initial examination, the patient was reportedly healthy with no signs of pain or dental disease.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Jaw fracture treatments in guinea pigs are poorly described in the literature. Surgical treatment can be challenging in this species due to its skull and dental anatomy. Although CS was originally employed to increase the congruency of premolar and molar teeth after coronal reduction, this device yielded satisfactory results as a noninvasive, inexpensive treatment of a mandibular fracture in this guinea pig. Alopecia on the back of the head was the only undesired adverse effect associated with the CS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.23.05.0237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]],"date-time":"2023-07-14T13:37:07Z","timestamp":1689341827000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Use of chin sling for conservative treatment of mandibular fracture in a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"261","author":[{"given":"Sheyla","family":"Dominguez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario de Referencia de la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Ororbia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario de Referencia de la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Orts-Porcar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario de Referencia de la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Laborda-Vidal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario de Referencia de la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Medicina y Cirug\u00eda Animal, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia \u201cSan Vicente M\u00e1rtir,\u201d Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Medicina y Cirug\u00eda Animal, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad Cardenal Herrera-Centro de Estudios Universitarios, Alfara del Patriarca, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Vilalta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Veterinario de Referencia de la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia, Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Medicina y Cirug\u00eda Animal, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia \u201cSan Vicente M\u00e1rtir,\u201d Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Ferrets, Rabbits, and Rodents Clinical Medicine and Surgery","first-page":"483","article-title":"Orthopedics in small mammals","author":"Guzman DSM","year":"2021","unstructured":"Guzman DSM, Kapatkin A.
