Aim : To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of using three dimensional (3D) plates versus conventional miniplates in the management of anterior mandibular fracture. Subjects and Methods: Twelve patients of both sexes (10 male and 2 female) were selected for this study. The age range from 16-40 with mean age (27.8). All patients were selected with anterior mandible fracture they chosen from those attending outpatient clinic of oral and maxillofical surgery at the faculty of Dental Medicine and at Sayed Galal Hospitals. Results: All patients showed clinical immediately improvement in occlusion and stability of fracture segment after open reduction and fixation except one case in group II need to intramaxillary fixation (IMF). There was statistically insignificant difference between both groups regarding operating time. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that 3D titanium miniplates are effective in the treatment of anterior mandibular fractures and overall complication rates are lesser as compared to conventional miniplates. The system is reliable and effective treatment modality for anterior mandibular fractures.

“…It is more difficult to get a perfect adaptation with the 3D plates than with the linear ones because they are objects in the form of a plane that need to be adapted to a curved surface and not just an object in the form of a straight line. 13 This was corroborated in the present study.…”

“…The reason for this is that in oblique fractures it is difficult to reconcile all the recommendations for an ideal fixation using a device that consists of horizontal bars and vertical bars parallel to the fracture line 13 . This may explain the differences in resistance encountered among the fixation devices in this study according to the type of fracture (Table 5).…”

“…33 Furthermore, there are no case series reports available in the specialized literature and only a small number of published studies investigating their advantages as compared to traditional plates and miniplates for bone reconstruction. 12,13 With regard to the displacement value to be adopted, there are authors who have standardized the use of a displacement value of 1 mm, 34,35 3 mm, 36 and 10 mm, 19 or the moment when the system collapses, if the latter should occur before the predetermined displacement is registered. 37 Madsen et al 6 used a continuous load right through to the moment of mechanical failure of the system, or to the limit of displacement, when evaluating symphysis fractures.…”

“…In the configuration used in their work, the material used proved to be less costly and readily adaptable, as well as reducing the operation time and providing greater stability. 12,13 While there have been some investigations using 3D plates as the fixation method, there is no scientific evidence concerning their use in the symphysis/ parasymphysis region. 4,6,[14][15][16][17] Thus the present work was undertaken to perform a laboratory evaluation of the resistance and performance of square and rectangular 2.0-mm system 3D miniplates used to stabilize fractures in the anterior region of the mandible, as compared to the performance of standard pattern plates, namely two straight plates also of the 2.0-mm (screw diameter) system.…”

Abstract. This study constituted a comparative assessment of the mechanical resistance of square and rectangular 2.0-mm system three-dimensional miniplates as compared to the standard configuration using two straight miniplates. 90 polyurethane replica mandibles were used for the mechanical trials. Groups 1, 2, and 3 simulated complete symphyseal fractures characterized by linear separation of the central incisors; groups 4, 5, and 6 simulated parasymphyseal fractures with an oblique configuration. Groups 1 and 4 represented the standard method with two straight miniplates set parallel to one another. Square miniplates were used in groups 2 and 5, and rectangular miniplates in groups 3 and 6. A universal testing machine set to a velocity of 10 mm/min and delivering a vertical linear load to the first left molar was used to test each group. Maximum load values and load values with pre-established dislocation of 5 mm were obtained and submitted to statistical analysis using a calculated reliability interval of 95%. The mechanical performances of the devices were similar, except in the case of rectangular plates used in the parasymphyseal fractures. The innovative fixation methods used showed significantly better results in the case of symphyseal fractures.
