Strength Analysis of Titanium and Resorbable Internal Fixation in a Mandibulotomy Model

Evaluation of in vitro resistance of titanium and resorbable (poly-l-dl-lactic acid) fixation systems on the mandibular angle fracture

“…The literature concerning the mechanical properties of the resorbable polymers is controversial on several issues, making it difficult to achieve a consensus on their application 10 . This can be explained by the different methodologies applied 8,21,22 , different fixation techniques 6,10,18 , and the different materials used as substrate and resorbable polymers in RIF 6,10,17,18,24 .…”

Characterization of an injectable, degradable polymer for mechanical stabilization of mandibular fractures

“…Fracture stabilization, especially of facial bones, has been a long-standing challenge for clinicians, and research in the past has focused on using degradable materials. 1,2,33 Because mechanical strength is of paramount importance when attempting to stabilize a defect, the 3:1(H) and 4:1(H) formulations, which exhibited the greatest strength of all formulations, were chosen to test the performance of the system in a relevant model. As fracture stabilization can immediately be evaluated, an ex vivo model was chosen to reduce costs and minimize the unnecessary use of animals.…”

Perspectives on Resorbable Osteosynthesis Materials in Craniomaxillofacial Surgery

“…Most of these studies were conducted in vitro and involve the mandible, such as mandibulotomies, mandible angle fractures and orthognathic surgeries [46][47][48] . These studies have shown that the mechanical properties of titanium are superior to those of resorbable materials.…”
