ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The mainstay of treating mandibular fracture is adequate reduction and fixation. Recently, miniplate fixation of mandibular fractures is commonly used due to the rapid bone healing, short duration of maxillomandibular fixation, improved oral intake, and decreased postoperative complications.OBJECTIVE:
This study presents the results of treating fractures of the mandible using miniplates. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Among 144 patients treated for fractures of the mandible within a six-year period, 99 patients treated with miniplates were retrospectively studied for etiologies, associated injuries, sites of fractures, postoperative results and complications.RESULTS:
All fractures were found to be stable at follow-up and there were no serious postsurgical complications.CONCLUSION:
Open reduction and internal fixation with miniplate is a reliable and effective technique for the treatment of mandibular fractures.
