Mandibular Symphysis Fractures

Abstract

… Introduction: Mandible is one of the most commonly fractured bones in maxillofacial trauma. Mandibular symphysis is a common site of mandibular fractures. Compare to conventional miniplates, three dimentional plates were found more effective in terms of post operative occlusion, post operative mobility of reduced fractured segments and the degree of anatomic reduction. Objectives: Compare the conventional 2.0mm mini plates versus 3D mini plates in the fixation of isolated mandibular symphysis fractures. Study Design: Interventional study.
