Abstract
Panfacial fractures require complex multidisciplinary approaches for treatment. Functional stability of bilateral condylar-disc complex should be the goal of the treatment. A patient with complex clinical panfacial fractures, including a bilateral condylar fractures visited our clinic. Facial asymmetry, insufficient vertical space and multiple missing teeth of the patient were major problems. Closed reduction and splint treatment were tried for stable condylar position. A functional and esthetic rehabilitation was accomplished by using implants and full mouth rehabilitaion. Potential possibilities of unstable occlusion should be prevented with night guard and periodic occlusal adjustment.
