Abstract
The open reduction and internal fixation of the mandibular angle fractures using the transbuccal technique is one of the most modern treatment method of these fractures. Aim: a preliminary study of case series of mandibular angle fractures treated exclusively with transbuccal tech- nique, the personal experience, the advantages and the possible complications of the technique reported. Patients and Methods: Patients with mandibular angle fractures, treated with intraoral reduction and fixation through transbuccal approach with one or two mini plates 2.0 mm, were included in the study. Results: 29 patients with 32 mandibular angle fractures were treated. The most common cause of injury was the interpersonal violence (54%). The time of surgery was on average 39 min and had happened 7 days post-injury. No postoperative infection was observed and no plates were removed. Conclusions: The transbuccal approach of osteosynthesis is a surgical technique for the treatment of mandibular angle fractures, preferred by more and more surgeons due to low postoperative complications rate and brief time of surgery.
