“…Moore et al [34] found that the incidence of plate removal was 18.2% when using Champy's technique compared to 8.2% with the use of 3-D strut plates. None of the patients developed wound dehiscence showing similar results as of Jain et al [12], but contrary to study by Al-Moraissi et al(p = 0.296) [20], Pal et al (11% wound dehiscence) [25], and Pandey et al (33% wound dehiscence) [35].…”

Aim To study whether the use of 3-D miniplate, when compared with conventional miniplate, gives better clinical outcomes with fewer complications in patients with fracture mandible. Materials and Methods A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Trauma Care Centre, on 40 patients. They were randomly divided into Group-I and Group-II with 20 patients in each group. In Group-I, 3-D miniplate was used and in Group-II, conventional miniplate was used. Parameters such as fracture stability, occlusal status, mouth opening, nerve paresthesia, infection, pain, swelling, and complications were evaluated on 1st, 7th postoperative day, 1st month and 3rd month. Results Fracture stability and occlusion were clinically better in Group-I than in Group-II on each follow-up; however, it was not statistically significant. Infection rate was lesser in Group-I than in Group-II (p = 0.003). Mouth opening was more in Group-II than in Group-I on immediate (p = 0.001) and 7th post-op day (p = 0.002). Overall complications were lesser in Group-I than in Group-II (p [ 0.005). Conclusion There is no major difference observed in clinical outcomes between 3-D miniplate and conventional miniplate. Either method of fixation can be used successfully in treatment of mandible fractures with comparable rates of complications.

The treatment of mandibular fractures by open reduction and internal fixation is very variable. Thus, there are many controversies about the best fixation system in terms of stability, functional recovery, and postoperative complications. This systematic review sought scientific evidence regarding the best indication for the use of three-dimensional (3D) plates in the treatment of mandibular fractures. A systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Elsevier/Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to include articles published up until November 2016. Following the application of the inclusion criteria, 25 scientific articles were selected for detailed analysis. These studies included a total of 1036 patients (mean age 29 years), with a higher prevalence of males. The anatomical location most involved was the mandibular angle. The success rate of 3D plates was high at this location compared to other methods of fixation. In conclusion, the use of 3D plates for the treatment of mandibular fractures is recommended, since they result in little or no displacement between bone fragments.

“…In the facial fractures, along with the functional recovery, the chief focus is the esthetics and the quick recovery. [ 4 5 ] The 3D plating systems have been gaining popularity in the maxillofacial structure. Hence, we compared the same for the efficiency with the routine 2D plating system.…”

“…However, there are very few studies that have compared the efficiency of the 3D plates with the conventional two dimensional (2D) plating system. [ 3 4 ] Hence, in our study, we aimed to compare the 3D plating systems with the 2D systems in maxillofacial trauma of the mandibular parasymphysis.…”

Introduction: Many advanced techniques and materials have been introduced in the recent years with the advent of the new designing technology. Hence, in our study, we aimed to compare in maxillofacial trauma, the three-dimensional (3D) plating systems. Materials and Methods: We piloted a prospective clinical study among 50 subjects of both genders with mandibular parasymphysis fracture. We compared the 3D miniplates with the two-dimensional (2D) miniplates where the subjects were divided into 2 groups equally. The clinical parameters were compared at different times of follow-up after the surgery. Results: We observed that there was a similar distribution of the genders and the side of the fracture of the parasymphysis. There was a significant difference between the groups for the mouth opening while there was no significant difference for the sensory deficit. The subjects recovered better with the 3D mini-plates. Conclusion: The mandibular fractures can be successfully treated with the 3D miniplates that help in a quick and efficient recovery.
