“…However, none of these studies has focused on the outcomes of different closed treatment procedures. 15,16 Due to the substantial diversity of definitions of closed treatment, a uniform protocol/guideline for closed treatment is required. Most closed therapy interventions require expert experience.…”

“…Condylar fracture remains to be one of the common mandibular fractures occurring at a frequency of almost 40%. [1][2][3] Even though advances in biomaterials and surgical techniques of fixation has revolutionized contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery, the best treatment modality for condylar fractures still remains to be controversial. 3 Closed reduction has been the mainstay treatment modality preferred by majority of oral surgeons but closed reduction has been associated with long term complications namely malocclusion, pain and deviation of mandible, inadequate vertical dimension of occlusion and possible ankylosis ultimately leading to loss of masticatory function and poor esthetics.…”

Materials and Methods:A total of 30 participants were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, each consisting of 15 participants. Patients treated with a single non-compression miniplate were placed in group 1, while those patients whose fractures were reduced and fixed by double non-compression mini plates were placed in group 2. Outcomes assessed were intraoperative time, deviation on mouth opening, malocclusion, plate bending, function of facial muscles and the relative cost of implants. Results: Out of a total of thirty patients, it was observed that those patients who were randomly assigned group 2 had better treatment outcomes and less complications as compared to the other group. Three patients with malocclusion were seen in group 1 compared with only a single case seen in group 2. Greater number of plate bending with susceptibility to plate fracture was also observed in Group 1. Conclusion: It can thus be concluded that using two plates for condylar fracture represents a more stable and sustainable solution with less complications in providing osteosynthesis.

Background and objective: Mandibular fractures are the most frequent and sub condylar region is a common site of fracture. Proper management of sub condylar fracture is a matter of controversy. Improper management of sub condylar fracture can lead to impaired function and aesthetics. Hence a timely and appropriate management of sub condylar fracture is mandatory. Aim of the study was to evaluate the merits and demerits of conservative management of mandibular sub condylar fractures.
