Microplate Fixation without Maxillomandibular Fixation in Double Mandibular Fractures
BACKGROUND Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is usually used to treat double mandibular fractures. However, advancements in reduction and fixation techniques may allow recovery of the premorbid dental arch and occlusion without the use of MMF. We investigated whether anatomical reduction and microplate fixation without MMF could provide secure immobilization and correct occlusion in double mandi...
متن کاملAbstract: A Microplate Fixation for Treatment of Comminuted Mandibular Fractures
METHODS: All operative facial trauma over a 16 year period (1998 – 2013) at a single institution was reviewed. Patients were categorized based on the imaging modality (head or face scan) used to evaluate their facial fractures, excluding those receiving a single imaging study. Fracture patterns seen were categorized and patients receiving both scan types were grouped based on whether the result...
متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Mandibular Fracture without Rigid Maxillomandibular Fixation
Introduction The ability to treat fracture with open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) has dramatically revolutionized the approach to mandible fracture. With OR/IF, the postoperative role of rigid maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) has declined, but it is used to maintain proper occlusion until internal fixation of the fracture is achieved. Objective To assess intraoperative manual MMF dur...
متن کاملMaxillomandibular Fixation Using Orthodontic Mini-implants in Management of Mandibular Fractures
INTRODUCTION: The use of intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in the treatment of maxillofacial trauma represents the cornerstone of fracture reduction and immobilization. Many modalities of IMF have been described. Recently, to overcome the cumbersome procedure of tooth borne appliances, miniimplants have been introduced into clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of using mini-...
متن کاملA short period of maxillomandibular fixation for treatment of fractures of the mandibular tooth-bearing area.
PURPOSE This study was aimed to determine whether a short period of maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) followed by an arch bar splint wired to the lower jaw is a suitable alternative to conventional MMF for treatment of fractures of the mandibular tooth-bearing area. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty patients with mandibular fractures associated with no other facial fractures were selected. They were...
