Objective: to report a case of fracture in the bilateral parasymphyseal and condylar region after a cycling accident, treated with the maxillomandibular block technique. Case report: a 21-yearold female patient was admitted to the Waldemar das Dores Municipal Hospital, Barão de Cocais, MG, Brazil, victim of a cycling accident, showing enamel and dentin fracture in teeth 11 and 21, anterior open bite, inability to reach maximum intercuspation, and a lateral excursion limitation to the right side. Tomographic examinations showed complete fracture of the right condyle neck, greenstick fracture in the left condyle, and parasymphyseal lingual cortical fracture. Considering it is a young patient with only one complete fracture (neck of the right condyle), a closed treatment was proposed through maxillomandibular block. Conclusion: maxillomandibular block was considered an effective treatment for the case in question, allowing to establish fracture consolidation without post-treatment complications.
