Different methods have been used in reducing mandibular fractures. Bone reduction forceps provides precise reduction and stabilize mandibular fracture segments.

The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of using bone reduction forceps in the reduction of isolated mandibular fractures.

10 patients complaining of isolated mandibular fractures in need of open reduction and internal fixation underwent reduction using bone reduction forceps.

The patients followed up clinically after 1 and 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation will be performed by computed tomography (CT) preoperatively, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be done after 3 and 6 months

• Patients with isolated mandibular fractures.

Exclusion criteria

• Medically compromised patients that will be not fit for surgery.
• Edentulous patients.
• Non-displaced
• Comminuted fracture with bone loss
