ABSTRACT
Treatment of mandibular pathological fractures differs according to etiology. Closed reduction with intermaxillary fixation is usually performed when fractures occur as a result of osteomyelitis. Here is reported a case of pathological fracture of the mandible resulting from osteomyelitis that was successfully treated with intermaxillary elastics only.
