About

The main goal in management of mandibular fractures is to restore the pre-injury form and function, with the least disability and shortest recovery period.

Full description

Currently there are a diversity of metallic hardware used for fixation of jaw fractures. However, the proper selection of the suitable technique is still a matter of debate.

The aim of the current study was to compare between the effect of two miniplates, 2.3 high profile Miniplates and three dimensional (3D) Miniplates for internal fixation treatment of mandibular para-symphyseal fractures.
