This novel technique focuses on stabilisation of the fracture fragments using vicryl, which has an added advantage to conventional plating and wiring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Technique:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After raising a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap, the fracture segments are identified and reduced. 1.6mm drill bit is used to make holes through the buccal cortex on either side of the fractured segment in an anteroposterior direction. The patency of holes is checked by passing a long 26-gauge wire. The proximal end of the wire is bent into a loop, a 2-0 resorbable polyglactin suture (vicryl) is passed through this loop and the loop is pressed in place to lock the suture. The wire with the attached suture is pulled through the distal end. Once the suture is secure in place, the 26G wire is cut, and the two ends of sutures are knotted and stabilised. The mucoperiosteal flap is then closed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A novel method of stabilisation of paediatric fracture without hampering the tooth and jaw growth, especially in the financially unstable population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Significance:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>2\u20130 polyglactin 910 suture is cost-effective, $2 US, compared to resorbable plates costing about $150 US, and easily available. Polyglactin 910 takes 40\u201360 days for resorption, and half-life tensile strength is 2 weeks; thus, it gives adequate stability and time for callus formation and does not damage the tooth buds or bone by cutting through them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_127_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T09:03:07Z","timestamp":1706000587000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Novel Method to Fix Paediatric Mandibular Fracture using 2-0 Polyglactin Suture"],"prefix":"10.67481","author":[{"given":"T.
