BackgroundThe treatment of mandibular fractures has undergone a revolutionary change after the invention of miniplate osteosynthesis. There aren't many studies in the literature comparing the outcomes of treating mandibular parasymphysis fractures with two miniplates versus one miniplate.
AimTo evaluate the outcomes of single vs. two plate osteosynthesis in the management of parasymphysis fractures of the mandible.
Materials and methodsSixteen patients with parasymphysis fracture of the mandible treated with a single high-profile miniplate or with two miniplates were included in the study. Multiple outcome variables such as fracture union, wound infection, dehiscence, iatrogenic dental injury, intraoperative time, plate exposure, and need for plate removal were recorded and analyzed statistically using the Student's t-test.
ResultsThe occurrence of iatrogenic dental injury (P= 0.021) and the mean operating time showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, whereas variables such as osseous healing, plate exposure, wound dehiscence, and postoperative paresthesia had no significant difference (P > 0.05).
ConclusionDespite both systems providing enough stability for osseous healing, the use of a single high-profile miniplate demonstrated fewer post-operative problems, such as iatrogenic injury to the dental roots and occurrence of infection/dehiscence and plate exposure, than the use of two miniplates.
Online shopping is flattering more accepted due to its ease and affordability. But that doesn"t mean online shopping is with no flaw or drawbacks. Payment security is big question mark in the online shopping; consumers are facing such issues every day. To safeguard the interests of the online shopping consumers there are security systems and payment systems available to protect against deception and security related threats, but still there is a threat of security breaches for online stores.

This research further approached the online shopping customers in Chennai city as representatives and all those representatives were contacted by mail along with the questionnaires. The data was collected from 305 respondents and the Structural equation modeling (SEM) with Wrap-PLS is administered to examine the data. The findings of the research shows that a fit model to enlighten online shopping consumers" purchase intentions. The outcomes of the study expose a good mediating effect relationship of perceived usefulness on online payment security and purchase intentions of the customers.

Moreover accepting the ease and adoption of the security sides of the payment affect the purchase intentions of the online shopping consumers. The outcomes of the research also give more awareness over various security aspects in electronic transactions.
