Abstract

First case, a one-year-old female Shih Tzu weighing 3 kg with closed transverse fractures of bilateral mandibular body between 2nd and 3rd premolar teeth were treated surgically with bone plates and screws, and cranial luxation of temporomandibular joints were reduced to closed method. Second case, a 8.4 years old male Yorkshire terrier weighing 2.6 kg with closed transverse/oblique fractures of bilateral mandibular body between premolar and molar teeth were treated surgically with bone plates and screws. Radiographic examination revealed that the fractures in two cases fixed well and temporomandibular joint was stabilized. One month after operation, jaw activity was excellent and malocclusion wasn't observed.
