“…One of the greatest disadvantages the titanium plating system has been shown to produce is the potential need for a secondary surgery to remove the device. Unfortunately, postoperative complications after removal of the titanium plates include increased risk for re-fracture, malunion, nonunion, facial asymmetry, occlusal derangement, and impaired mouth opening [11]. On the other hand, the biodegradable properties of the resorbable plating system mitigates the need for a secondary surgery due to their capability of being resorbed over a period ranging from 2 to 5 years [4].…”

Treatment for mandibular fractures is commonly performed via open reduction fixation with mini titanium or resorbable plates and screws. The investigators hypothesized differences in maximum mechanical stress forces and deflection with each plating material; however, it was proposed that the experimental forces withstood by the resorbable system would be enough to withstand normal forces produced during mastication.The sample was composed of fresh cadaver mandibles that were harvested, fractured, and fixated with plates and screws. The predictor variable was fracture fixation and included a titanium plating or resorbable poly-Llactide plating system. The primary outcome measure was maximum load withstood before plating failure measured in Newtons (N). Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed, P value was set at .05.The sample was composed of six mandibles with and grouped by type of fixation modality, Titanium (T) (n ¼ 3) and Resorbable (n ¼ 3). There was a statistically significant correlation between the T group and increased maximum load (N) before failure as compared to the R group, (P ¼ 0.023).The results suggest that fracture fixation with titanium plates and screws can withstand greater maximum forces before failure; however, the resorbable plating system withstood forces similar to/or greater than the maximum forces produced during normal mastication.

“…Additional ve full articles that met all inclusion criteria were identi ed from independent searches. A total of 35 articles 11,12,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]13,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]14,[41][42][43][44][15][16][17][18][19][20] met all inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. Two articles 43,44 were excluded from the meta-analysis because they did not report on any one geopolitical zone, and therefore could not be combined with other studies.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to provide a nationwide survey of maxillofacial injuries pattern, distribution, etiology, and treatment based on Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis included all cross-sectional, cohort, case-control and randomized controlled studies published between 2004 and 2019 (16 years). Comparisons were made between different age groups, gender, site of maxillofacial injury, associated injuries, and treatment across geopolitical zones in Nigeria: southwest(SW), southsouth(SS), southeast(SE), northwest(NW), north central(NC) and northeast(NE). Proportion meta-analysis using the generic inverse variance method, risk ratio effect measure, and random effects model was conducted. Results: A total of 35 studies including 4,472 patients from four geopolitical zones across Nigeria (SW, SS, SE and NW) were included in this review. Age range was 0.3 to 90 years. Highest male to female ratio reported was 30:1. Road traffic crash (RTC) was the major risk factor for maxillofacial injuries (3.10, 95% CI, 2.34 – 4.10), and motorcycle crash was second (0.44; 95% CI, 0.29 – 0.66). Other aetiologic factors were assault (0.28; 95% CI, 0.19 – 0.40), fall (0.06; 95% CI, 0.03 – 0.11), sports injuries (0.03; 95% CI, 0.02 – 0.05) and others (0.04; 95% CI, 0.02 – 0.09). Conclusions and relevance: RTC, motorcycle crash and assault constituted the most important factors for maxillofacial injuries in Nigeria. The result of this study highlights the importance of improved road safety measures and maintenance of law and order.
