“…Many authors reported the angle as the most frequently affected site [3,5,12,18], whereas, others reported this to be mandibular body [4,9,16] and symphysis [3]. In this study, the parasymphysis was the most frequently affected site (33%) and ZMC (9.5%) in mid face region.…”

This study involves mandibular and midface fractures recorded in the trauma reports of OMFS department, SCB dental college, Cuttack, Odisha. The reports were studied between December 2004 and November 2009. The 503 patients had 539 mandibular fractures and 117 midface fractures. Males accounted for 442 (87.87%) and females accounted for 61 (12.12%). Male to female ratio was 7.25:1. The most common cause of fracture was road traffic accident and accounted for 404 (80.31%). The most common site of fracture mandible was parasymphysis where as in middle third fracture it was zygomatic complex fracture. The most common age groups involved in fracture were 21-30 years and the incidence of head injury was 97(19.28%). Many of these variations may be related to socioeconomic, cultural and environmental conditions.

“…5,11,20 This vulnerability was explained by a number of predisposing factors including the presence of third molars, a thinner crosssectional area of the angle when compared with the tooth-bearing region and its biomechanical property that may be considered as a 'lever' area. 7 The large number of studies on the treatment of mandibular angle fracture reflects the fact that a consensus has not been reached for a single, ideal treatment method.…”

“…5 Despite the evolution in the treatment of maxillofacial trauma, no single treatment modality has been revealed to be ideal for mandibular angle fractures. Size, shape, number and biomechanics of plate and screw systems with varying configurations and combinations used for the treatment of mandibular angle fractures are well documented and research continues.…”

“…The objective in the treatment of mandibular fracture is to re-establish normal occlusion and masticatory function. Conservative treatment to achieve this is performed by immobilizing the mandible for the healing period by dental wiring, arch bars, cap splints, and gunning splints [8][9] . Operative treatment of mandibular fractures involves intraoral or extraoral opening of the fracture site and direct osteosynthesis with trans osseous wires, lag screws, or bone plates [10][11] .…”

Background: Recently, various modifications in placing miniplates for direct fixation of the mandibular fracture are gaining popularity. The modifications have various advantages like more rigidity, less foreign material, less time in application, etc. Thus the purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate outcomes for three bone plating techniques used in the treatment of mandibular symphysis/ parasymphysis fractures. Material and Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 45 patients with mandibular symphysis/parasymphysis fractures and the patients were divided into 3 groups (A, B and C). Patients were followed for 3 months. Outcome parameters like occlusion, distraction of lower border radiologically, parasthesia, infection, failure of bone plate (plate fracture) and screw loosening, postoperative segmental stability and radiological evaluation of fixation were recorded.Results: Distraction of lower border was seen in all the groups which were noticed radiographically at all follow ups. There was no occlusal discrepancy present in all the groups after three months post operatively. The fracture segments were stable in all groups at all times. Parasthesia was noticed in all the groups, which gradually decreased in one month and resolved completely by third month follow up. The degree of parasthesia, distraction of lower border, occlusal discrepancy was not statistically significant between the three groups. Hardware failure was not found in all the groups. Conclusion:It can be concluded that conventional miniplate system is a better and easier method than the 3D miniplate system for fixation of mandibular fractures. In comparison, the 3D miniplate system is unfavorable for use in cases of oblique fractures and those involving the mental nerve, and is also difficult to adapt.
