A Smile is for a lifetime - Treatment of Facial Injuries and Deformities at Dr Saxena's Dental Super Specialty Centre by Dr Mayank Saxena

Any injury or deformity of the face is physically as well as emotionally debilitating. The Physical component includes inability/ difficulty in speech. Most often it is also accomapanied by problemsin chewing food.

Rajesh sustained multiple panfacial injuries to his face in an accident while he was on his way home driving on his two wheeler. As he is a native of a village in Uttar Pradesh, India, primary health centres are not very well equipped. He was administered i.v. fluids for a week before disharging.

When he came to our centre, mandibular fracture was diagnosed and facial lacerations and resultant deformity was noted.




Fixation of the jaw was done with miniplates and the patient started his routine daily activities within a week of treatment.
