A simplified technique of maxillomandibular fixation

Self Tapping Screws v/s Erich Arch Bar for Inter Maxillary Fixation: A Comparative Clinical Study in the Treatment of Mandibular Fractures

“…According to the results, it is evident that the maximum time taken was for arch bar fixation 100 min and the average time taken for IMF with the self tapping IMF screw was found to be 8.5 min. The results of the present study are in agreement with the data from various studies [7,10]. Win et al (1991) [15] used self tapping screws of diameter 3.5 mm and 12 mm/16 mm in length.…”

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Fiber Glass Splinting for Fixation of Dento-Alveolar Fractures in Children

“…Clinical examination of all patients after removal of the splint showed stability of fracture segments as well as proper occlusion. No case showed occlusal disharmony, so there was no need for spot grinding to adjust occlusion and rehabilitation, this was in accordance with Arthur and Berardo (39).…”

Intermaxillary fixation screws versus Erich arch bars in mandibular fractures: A comparative study and review of literature

“…[ 1 4 8 ] The incidence of needle stick injuries and perforation of gloves and subsequently the risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis and acquired immuno deficiency syndrome are much higher in cases of arch bar fixation as compared to IMF screws. [ 2 7 8 9 ] In our study, glove perforation was found in 20 cases where arch bars were used compared to only 2 cases where IMF screws were used. The patient comfort and acceptance were significantly high in patients with IMF screws good in 21 patients compared to only 5 patients where arch bar was used.…”

“…The same technique was reported by Arthur and Berardo and Jones. [ 2 7 ] In this study, the maximum time taken for arch bar fixation was 120 min and in case of IMF screws only 20 min. The results were in consistent with the data from previous studies conducted by Arthur and Berardo, Jones, Fabbroni et al ., Roccia et al ., and Coletti et al .…”
