Analysis of Different Treatment Modalities for Mandibular Angle Fractures- A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: The mandibular angle is fractured in approximately 25%- 33% of all cases. Road traffic accidents and assaults are the primary cause of mandibular fractures. The present study was conducted to compare the 2.0 mm locking, 2.0 mm non-locking metal plating systems and 2.5 mm bioresorbable plates in the management of mandibular angle fracture. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Oral & maxillofacial surgery. It comprised of 45 patients of both genders. Patients were divided into three groups of 15 each. Group I were treated with 2 mm locking system, group II treated with 2 mm non- locking system and group III patients were treated with 2.5 mm resorbable system. Results: Out of 45 patients, group I patients were treated with 2 mm locking system, group II treated with 2 mm non- locking system and group III patients were treated with 2.5 mm resorbable system. Each group had 15 patients each. Mean age in group I was 28.9 years, in group II was 27.2 years and in group III was 30.5 years. In group I, males were 8 and females were 7, in group II, males were 10 and females were 5, in group III, males were 6 and females were 9. In group I, isolated fractures were 12 and combined fractures were 3, in group II, isolated fractures were 9 and combined fractures were 6 and in group III, isolated fractures were 8 and combined fractures were 7. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Complications such as delayed union was seen in 1 patients in group II, infection in 1 patient in group III, malocclusion in 2 patients in group I, 1 in group II and 2 in group III, plate removal due to infection and at will in 1 patient each in all groups. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Mandibular angle fracture is common among facial bone fractures. All systems found to be equally effective in the management of mandibular angle fracture
