Özet
In this case report, the treatment of segmental fracture by interdental loop wiring technique on the left side of the rostral region of the mandible in a 2-year-old male, Terrier breed dog was described. Mandibular fracture occurred due to the attack of another dog. In the clinical examination, there were no pathological symptoms related to neurological findings, respiratory system or the general condition. However, it was determined that the mouth of the animal could not close completely. Gingival laceration was evident. In the preoperative radiographic evaluation, a fracture line was observed between the left mandibular first premolar and the first incisor teeth. The roots of the left canine and the left first premolar teeth were also fractured. Mandibular fracture was reduced via interdental loop wiring after these two teeth were extracted. On the 24th postoperative day, clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed which revealed that this non-invasive fixation method achieved a complete fracture healing without complications. Interdental loop wiring may be used successfully in segmental mandibular fractures in dogs.
