Twenty-five patients with mandibular angle fracture were subjected to reduction and fixation through intra-oral open reduction and semi-rigid min plate fixation near the superior border of the mandible at Champy's osteosynthesis line. The linear inter-fragmentary gap was measured at the inferior border of the mandible after fixation of the fractured bony segments in the final aligned position immediately postoperative on a panoramic radiograph for the mesio-distal plane and a cone beam computed tomography for the bucco-lingual plane to assess any lingual splay. The healing process was clinically followed for 3 months postoperatively for any complications and/or patient complains

Inclusion Criteria:

• minimally displaced mandibular angle fracture which needed intervention via reduction and fixation *medically free

Exclusion Criteria:

• - Patients with multiple mandibular fractures or patients with concomitant maxillary fracture.
• Patients with severely displaced mandibular angle fracture needing extra-oral open reduction and fixation.
• Medically compromised patients and patients with abnormalities that impair bone healing

. All the patients suffered from minimally displaced mandibular angle fracture which needed intervention via reduction and fixation
