Use of 1.3 mm Low Profile Titanium Miniplates for the Treatment of Mandibular Fractures
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: The aim of mandibular fracture treatment is the restoration of anatomic form and function, with particular care to reestablish the occlusion. Material & Methods: A observational study done on the selected cases (total 20) were treated by open reduction and fixation with two 1.3mm low profile titanium miniplates in twenty cases. The other associated fractures of the mandible, maxilla or condyle which required open reduction and fixation were treated as per routine using titanium miniplates and screws. Results: Our study showed that the all 20 patients were healthy adult males with their ages ranging from 18 to 53 year, the mean age was (28.95). Out of 20 patients in 13 (65%) patients the aetiology was road traffic accident (R.T.A.), in 4 (20%) patients the history was fall and in three (15%) patients the history was assault. The Rt. Parasymphysis fracture is commonest in the mandible. Screw of 1.3 mm can be used in mandibular fracture satisfactorily and also 6 mm length of screw can be used. Conclusion: We concluded that the plates due to their thinness and flexibility don’t require adaptation. They will adapt to the mandible by itself while tightening of the screws.
