“…The results reflected an improvement in the quality of life indicators in relation to the time elapsed since the surgical procedure, except for the first day after the operation, when the quality of life indicators did deteriorate. The treatment method had no significant influence on the results of the study [41].…”

Maxillofacial fractures (MFF) belong to the major modern medicine and public health concerns. The recovery from MFF is associated with a number of social problems. The patient’s mood may be affected by the change in self-image and lack of satisfaction with life, in many cases leading to a deepening of mental health disorders, resulting in alcoholism, loss of job or conflicts in the area of family life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with MFF, with respect to demographic and medical variables. The mean age of the 227 patients was 36 years. The mandible was the most frequent MFF location (52.9%), followed by the zygomatic bone (30.8%) then the maxilla (16.3%). Bone fracture displacement occurred in 79.3% of patients. A comminuted fracture was found in 71% of patients. The quality of life of patients with MFF was significantly better in all analyzed domains 3 months after the end of hospitalization compared to the initial survey carried out shortly after implementation of the treatment. Among the demographic variables, older age had a statistically significant but weak positive association with the improvement of the quality of life of respondents in General health perception domain.

“…Similar functional problems were pointed out by Omeje et al, who showed that in a group of subjects with mandibular fractures, during the short post-trauma period, the most significant complaints included problems with chewing and swallowing as well as limitations in the options of food to eat. 18 In the literature, there are many publications discussing the effects of injuries to the mental state and the related risk of depression. 19 According to Rustemeyer and Gregersen, the most significant post-traumatic changes are connected with psychological discomfort and poorer social functioning.…”

During both the shortand long-term period following injury of the lower face, the most frequent complaints included pain in the maxillofacial region, problems with eating food and dissatisfaction due to change in diet. The study has shown that during the period of 8 months after the injury, there was a significant improvement in the quality of life assessed with OHIP-14. Age and gender do not significantly affect the quality of life after injury to the lower face.

“…Patients with anterior mandibular fracture usually complain from pain that worsens with mastication and phonation movements, and even respiratory movements; sometimes there are facial asymmetry complaints. Therefore, treatment of mandibular fracture aims to re-establish normal occlusion and masticatory function with minimal disability and complications [17,18] . Surgical treatment of mandibular fractures involves intraoral or extraoral pathway to the fracture site and direct osteosynthesis with transosseous wires, lag screws or bone plates [19,20] a complex form of biomechanical behavior at anterior mandibular fracture leaded to development several types for internal fixations to management of this type of fracture.…”

Objective: To compare between double straight miniplates, double inverted L-shaped miniplates ,and three dimensional (3 D) rectangular miniplate in fixation of anterior mandibular (symphyseal / parasymphyseal area) fractures. Patients and methods: Thirty adult patients with anterior mandibular fractures were included in this study. The patients were divided randomly into three equal groups, group I was treated by superior and inferior straight miniplate while group II was treated by double L-shaped miniplates fixation technique and group III was treated by 3D rectangular miniplate. Postoperative clinical, radiographic evaluation and quantitative measurements were performed. Results: Wound healing was optimal in all cases except two cases in group I and one case in group II. Satisfactory occlusion was obtained in all cases except three cases in group I where it had mild to moderate occlusal derangement. Other parameters including maximal mouth opening, sensory nerve function, and patient's tolerance to the plate were comparable. There were the similarity between the density changes for the three groups as there was highly significant difference in G(I) compared to G(II) at six months, and G(I) compared to G(III) at three and six months also between G (II) compared to G(III) at six months.. Conclusion: Both double L-shaped miniplates and 3D rectangular miniplate provided enough stability for proper bone healing, establishment of optimal occlusion and early return to normal function more than with double straight miniplates. Additionally, there is superiority of 3 D rectangular miniplate over double inverted L-shaped miniplates in these parameters.
