Comparison of Efficacy of Transalveolar Screws and Conventional Dental Wiring Using Erich Arch Bar for Maxillomandibular Fixation in Mandibular Fractures

Microplate Fixation without Maxillomandibular Fixation in Double Mandibular Fractures

BACKGROUND Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is usually used to treat double mandibular fractures. However, advancements in reduction and fixation techniques may allow recovery of the premorbid dental arch and occlusion without the use of MMF. We investigated whether anatomical reduction and microplate fixation without MMF could provide secure immobilization and correct occlusion in double mandi...

Is the Erich arch bar the best intermaxillary fixation method in maxillofacial fractures? A systematic review

BACKGROUND Intermaxillary fixation is used to achieve proper occlusion during and after oral and maxillofacial fracture surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to compare Erich arch bar fixation with other intermaxillary fixation methods in terms of the operating time, safety during installation, oral health maintenance and occlusal stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic online ...

A Conservative Method for Treating Severely Displaced Pediatric Mandibular Fractures: An Effective Alternative Technique

Pediatric mandibular fractures have been successfully managed in various ways. The use of a lingual splint is an option. This article presents a 4-year old boy who was treated by an alternative conservative method with a combination of an arch bar plus a lingual splint, circum-mandibular wiring and IMF for the reduction, stabilization and fixation of a severely displaced bilateral man‌dibular b...
