Abstract

Background and Aim: Maxillofacial trauma is very common in all unforeseen events and the unique position of the mandible on the face makes it vulnerable. It is therefore, one of the most commonly fractured facial bones. The aim of this study is to compare 3-Dimensional versus 2-Dimensional Stainless steel miniplates for open reduction and fixation of mandibular symphysis and parasymphysis fracture. Methods: Patients with symphysis and parasymphysis fractures of mandible (unilateral /bilateral) were selected. All patients were treated and observed by the same surgeon. Routine investigations were carried out. Results: There is no statistically significant difference between three dimensional miniplate and twodimensional miniplate osteosynthesis in the open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular symphysis and parasymphysis fractures. Clinically, three-dimensional miniplates were found to be better than two-dimensional miniplates in terms of cost, ease of surgery and operative time. Conclusion: Three-dimensional miniplates were unfavorable for cases where fracture line was oblique and in close proximity to the mental foramen, where they were difficult to adapt and there were more chances for tooth-root damage and inadvertent traction of the mental nerve. Studies with larger sample size are recommended to correlate the findings of the present study for their wider use in clinical practice. [J Doshi, Natl J Integr Res Med, 2018; 9(3):14-20]
