| Abstract | ||
| The optimal management of the mandibular fractures continuous to evolve. Mandibular fractures at different anatomical areas predispose the patient to malocclusion and disfigurement of the face if not properly treated. The current understanding of the biomechanics and fracture healing of the mandible has influenced by the approach to open reduction and internal fixation of these fractures. The study reports if there is any significance in the outcomes of using 3D plating systems in the management of mandibular fractures. The different anatomical sites of mandibular fractures need different treatment modalities. The treatment of mandibular fractures has evolved from various forms of fixation. In our study we used three dimensional titanium miniplates yielding better results than the conventional miniplates. | ||
