Molar bone fractures are often associated with mid-face fractures. Many patients present with this condition. We treated a molar complex fracture by continuous or intermittent reduction force applied with a head frame. Reduction force was produced by traction with an elastic band and compression with a screw bar. Traction and compression force were applied concurrently to three dimensionally reduce the fracture. Force was adjusted with the elastic band and screw bar. This technique could three dimensionally manipulate large fragments and restore the continuity of each buttress. It is considered one of the ideal methods to treat fractures that are difficult to reduce with rigid or semi-rigid internal fixation plates.
