A Comparative Study Between Three Different Plating Techniques in Management of Mandibular Parasymphyseal Fractures.

Completed
Conditions
Mandibular Fractures
Registration Number
NCT06323122
Lead Sponsor
October 6 University
Brief Summary

The main goal in management of mandibular fractures is to restore the pre-injury form and function, with the least disability and shortest recovery period.

Detailed Description

Currently there are a diversity of metallic hardware used for fixation of jaw fractures. However, the proper selection of the suitable technique is still a matter of debate.

The aim of the current study was to compare between the effect of two miniplates, 2.3 high profile Miniplates and three dimensional (3D) Miniplates for internal fixation treatment of mandibular para-symphyseal fractures.
