Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>- Anatomic parameters:<br /><br>1. Anatomic position of the fracture on radiologic imaging by means of<br /><br>comparison after mirroring of the contralateral side in millimetres<br /><br>(continuous) and degrees (continuous).<br /><br>2. Occlusion disorder (yes/no).<br /><br><br /><br>- Masticatory performance tested with Mixing Ability Test: outcome in<br /><br>*pixels* (continuous)</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>- Functional parameters:<br /><br>1. Pain registration with the VAS-score in millimetres (continuous)<br /><br>2. Clinical examination of the mandible: laterotrusion, protrusion, maximal<br /><br>opening of the mouth measuring interincisal distance, deviation of the chin<br /><br>when opening) in millimetres (continuous), tenderness of the TMJ.<br /><br><br /><br>- Subjective parameters:<br /><br>1. RAND36 questionnaire (continuous)<br /><br>2. MFIQ questionnaire (continuous)</p><br>
