Single Locking Miniplate and Two Non-locking Miniplates in the Management of Parasymphyseal Fracture

Evaluating Masticatory Biting Force After Using Single Locking Miniplate Versus Two Non-locking Miniplates in the Management of Parasymphyseal Fracture in Patients With Two-line Mandibular Fractures

Evaluating the biting force after management of parasymphyseal fracture in patients with two-line mandibular fractures.

Evaluating the biting force after using 2.0 mm single locking miniplate versus 2.0 mm two conventional non-locking miniplates in the management of parasymphyseal fracture in patients with two-line mandibular fractures.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Contra-lateral unfavorable non-comminuted simple or compound mandibular fracture in the parasymphyseal and angle regions.
• Fractures amenable to treatment using intra oral approach.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Medically compromised patients who are unfit for the procedure under general anesthesia.
• Patients with comminuted fractures.
• Patients with history of occlusion disturbances or skeletal malocclusion.
• Patients with insufficient dentition to reproduce occlusion.
