Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Contra-lateral unfavorable non-comminuted simple or compound mandibular fracture in the parasymphyseal and angle regions.
• Fractures amenable to treatment using intra oral approach.

Exclusion criteria

• Medically compromised patients who are unfit for the procedure under general anesthesia.
• Patients with comminuted fractures.
• Patients with history of occlusion disturbances or skeletal malocclusion.
• Patients with insufficient dentition to reproduce occlusion.

20 participants in 2 patient groups

Locking miniplate

Experimental group

Description:

The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 single locking miniplates and the fractured segments of the angle will be fixed conventionally using 2.0 single non-locking miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge.

Treatment:

Procedure: 2.0 single locking miniplates

Non-locking miniplates

Experimental group

Description:

The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 two non-locking miniplates and the fractured segments of the angle will be fixed conventionally using 2.0 single non-locking miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge.

Treatment:

Procedure: 2.0 single locking miniplates
