The purpose this article is an analysis and generalization of the data of modern scientific literature on the treatment of traumatic fractures of the mandibular in children. The results. Fractures of the mandibular occupy the first place among fractures of the maxillofacial area and remain an actual problem in childhood. Treatment of fractures of the mandibular in children depends on the type, location of the fracture, and one of the main factors is the age and period of bite. Depending on the type of fracture, age and period of occlusion, immobilization and fixation of fragments of the lower jaw can be achieved using two main methods – conservative and surgical, sometimes they are combined and the treatment becomes combined. Standardized protocols for providing care for fractures of the lower jaw, which are straightened today, are described in more detail, but there are no clear protocols for the treatment of fractures in different age groups in children. Conclusion. When choosing treatment for fractures of the mandibular, it is necessary to pay attention to the age of the child, the period of bite and the location of the fracture.
