Background: Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a sudden discontinuity through the mandibular bone. In the treatment of un-favorable mandibular angle fractures, 3D plating system was analogous to double miniplates Osteosynthesis. Over the last century, the indicators for closed vs. open reduction have shifted considerably. Objective: To compare the outcome of conventional miniplates versus 3-D miniplates for reduction of mandibular fractures Material & Methods Study Design: It was randomized control trial Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore Duration: 6 months i.e. from 24-04-2017 to 24-10-2017 Data collection: 70 mandibular fracture patients were enrolled. The patients were split into two groups. Group A is treated with 3D plates technique and group B treated with conventional mini plate technique. After surgery patients were evaluated for plate failure or and at 1 month for occlusal discrepancy. All the data was entered and put in SPSS version 21. Results: In this study the mean age of the group A patients was 29.29±1.802 years whereas the mean value of age in group B patients was 35.69±11.65 years, male/female ratio of the patients was 1.05:1. Plate was successfully inserted in 100% patients by 3D mini-plate technique. The occlusal discrepancy was noted in 8(11.43%) patients (p-value=0.005). Conclusion: 3-D mini-plates for reduction of mandibular fractures is significantly more efficacious than to conventional mini-plates method Keywords: 3-D mini-plates, Conventional, Mandibular Fractures,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
