About

This study will evaluate the accuracy of the use of 3-D printed reduction guide in treatment of mandibular fractures using two different methods of virtual planning.

Full description

This study will be conducted clinically on 24 patients with mandibular fracture divided into 2 groups, (group A) virtual planning will be done using the manual virtual reduction method and (group B) virtual planning will be done using the mirror image technique. Design of the reduction guide will be done in accordance with the virtual plan. The surgical reduction will be done with the aid of the guide.

Enrollment: 24 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Medically fit patients free from relevant conditions contraindicating surgery.
• Unilateral mandibular fractures indicated for open reduction and internal fixation

Exclusion criteria

• Infected fracture site.
• Patients with systemic bone diseases.
