“…With the use of a lag screw for alveolar process fracture, we can anticipate good periodontium health without any disease or marginal bone loss, as there will be minimal or no plaque retention around the lag screw. A study conducted by Nyárády et al11 indicates that lag screw fixation whether done under general or local anesthesia had the same results. Our study also indicates that lag screw fixation whether done under general or local anesthesia had the same results.…”

“…Forrest 29 treated five patients suffering from anterior mandibular fractures using lag screws and concluded that lag screws can be applied with minimum exposure, thus reducing morbidities such as swelling, scarring, and nerve injury. Moreover, Nyárády et al 37 treated 468 patients suffering from alveolar fractures using transgingival lag screws and recommended this technique when the blood supply is jeopardized and MMF cannot be used.…”

“…All three cases had an oblique fracture plane. The advantages of using a single screw instead of plates and screws are as follows: less implant material, low costs, simple technique, and limited surgical exposure . In addition, all three cases had open palatal wounds, whereas the labial soft tissue was intact.…”
