Mandibular Fracture Reduction Using Bone Reduction Forceps
- Conditions
- Mandibular Fractures
- Registration Number
- NCT04443998
- Lead Sponsor
- Hams Hamed Abdelrahman
- Brief Summary
Different methods have been used in reducing mandibular fractures. Bone reduction forceps provides precise reduction and stabilize mandibular fracture segments.
- Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of using bone reduction forceps in the reduction of isolated mandibular fractures.
10 patients complaining of isolated mandibular fractures in need of open reduction and internal fixation underwent reduction using bone reduction forceps.
The patients followed up clinically after 1 and 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation will be performed by computed tomography (CT) preoperatively, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be done after 3 and 6 months

Name Time Method change in pain level 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months Pain: will be measured on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The patients will be asked to rate their postoperative pain on a 4-point scale (0= none, 1= slight, 2= moderate, 3- severe)
Change in radiodensitometric measurements at 3rd, 6th months cone-beam computerized tomograms (CBCT) used to analyze the mean bone density at the site of fracture
change in occlusion 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months Any occlusal disturbance including open bite or improper tooth contact will be recorded
change in maximal mouth opening 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months maximal interincisal opening between maxillary and mandibular central incisors.
