چکیده

conclusions in this study, use of one miniplate or two miniplates for treatment of favorable mandibular angle fractures was associated with a similar incidence of complications. thus, it seems that the use of two miniplates in this setting may not be warranted, nor cost-efficient. results in the single miniplate group, 25 patients showed lip numbness associated with surgery (55.6%), 22 patients required additional use of mmf (48.9%) and 3 patients developed infections (6.7%). in the double miniplate group 20 patients showed lip numbness associated with surgery (47.6%), 18 patients required additional use of mmf (42.9%) and 1 patient developed infection (2.4%). none of the patients in either group showed malocclusion or mal:union:. no significant difference was observed between the groups regarding overall complication rate. objectives the present study assessed the postoperative complications and outcomes associated with the fixation of mandibular angle fractures using 1 and 2 miniplates in patients with favorable mandibular angle fractures. patients and methods a prospective study of 87 patients (73 males, 14 females) with favorable mandibular angle fractures was done. in the first group, a 4-hole miniplate was placed at the superior border through an intraoral approach. in group 2, patients were treated with 2 miniplates, one placed at the superior border (similar to group 1) and the other on the lateral aspect of the angle at the inferior border through an intraoral and transcutaneous approach using a trocar. postoperative complications including malocclusion, mal:union: and sensory disturbances associated with surgery, additional maxillomandibular fixation (mmf) by means of an arch bar and wires for a longer period (for delayed :union:) and infection were assessed in patients of both groups up to 12 months postoperatively. the data were analyzed using the chi-square test. background monocortical miniplate fixation is an accepted and reliable method for internal fixation of mandibular angle fractures. although placement of a second miniplate may theoretically provide more stability; however, the clinical importance of this issue remains controversial.

Management of Mandibular Fractures with Conventional Miniplates - A Review

The management of trauma has evolved greatly over the past many years. Various bone plating have been introduced for stable fixation of mandibular fractures. The present concept of treating mandibular fractures is with non-compression mini plates which relieves the patient from a hazardous intermaxillary fixation with wires and gives better stability and osteosynthesis. When placed along the Ch...

Evaluation of The Efficacy of Using A Single Lateral Border Monocorticalminiplate System For Treatment of Mandibular Angle Fracture

Treatment of mandibular angle fractures has no consensus with regards to fixation schemes and varies from center to center. Internal fixation with miniplates have several advantages, however controversy exits with regards to 1-plate vs 2-plate fixation. In this study we sought to assess the efficacy of a single miniplate placed along the lateral cortex for the treatment of mandibular angle frac...
