Interdental acrylic stabilisation of canine tooth root and mandibular fractures in a dog.
A two-year-old labrador had bilateral open fractures of the apical region of the mandibular canine tooth roots and the adjacent mandible. The fractures were reduced and held in place with an interdental acrylic splint, after which the tooth roots and mandible healed directly.
