Abstract :
Background:
Mandibular fracture treatment is the restoration of
anatomical form and function, with particular care to
establish the occlusion. Traditionally, this has been
achieved by immobilizing the jaws using various wiring
techniques In the past 2 decades,interest has increased
for different methods of open reduction and internal
fixation (ORIF)
Aims and Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
clinical outcome of the 3D plate compared to
conventional two-plate fixation for stabilization of the
mandibular angle fracture.
Patients and Methods:
The study, conducted in all adult patients with
maxillary and facial fractures, was referred to the
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Rama
Dental College, Kanpur. The study included 20 patients
aged 18-40 years with good or poor angle fractures who
were operated with an intra-oral or extra-oral approach.
Group I: - Includes his 10 patients whose fractures were
fixed with three-dimensional titanium plates. Group II: -
Includes 10 patients with fractures fixed with two
conventional titanium miniplates.
Results:
Wound healing was satisfactory in all cases in both
groups.
Satisfactory occlusion was achieved in all cases in
both groups
Other parameters such as maximal mouth opening,
sensory nerve function, and patienttolerance to plates
were comparable.
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional plate fixation is comparable to
dual miniplate fixation in the fixation of mandibular
angle fractures. Both systems provide enough stability
for good bone healing, optimal occlusal establishment,
and rapid return to normal function.
