          This paper reports a motorcycle crashed accident which caused the 7 years old girl mandibular fracture. Radiographic feature showed simple fracture at the right body and greenstick fracture at the left angle of the mandible. Malocclusion was cleary seen as a consequence. In the treatment, the non-operative technique has been selected. The closed reduction was accomplished, under general anesthesia, by using arch bar and acrylic splint, supplementing with the circummandibular wiring. This procedure prohibits the tooth bud injury and abnormal development of the mandibular growth.
