ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Management of mandible angle fractures can be challenging within the confines of the oral cavity where the use of linear instruments may result in structural weakness or malalignment secondary to improper placement. A right angle drill can facilitate a more ergonomic approach, with direct perpendicular placement of the instrument over the angle fracture. In addition, local soft tissue strain is minimized, and the need for a transcutaneous exposure can be avoided for additional plate placement. The right angle drill technique is simple, reproducible, and can be easily incorporated into routine mandible angle fracture management.
