Brief Summary

Mandibular fractures are the second most common maxillofacial fracture after nasal bone fracture. As a result, a lot of research work has gone into improving treatment methods for these fractures including, reduction of immobilization period and enhancement of rigid fixation. One of these modalities is the use of Sagittal Split plate at the angle of the mandible.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in pain scores

    Will be assessed through a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (34). (0-1= None, 2-4= Mild, 5-7= Moderate, 8-10= Severe).

    baseline, 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks

  • Change in Maximal Inter-Incisal Mouth

    Using a millimeter ruler to measure maximal inter-incisal mouth opening

    baseline, 24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • postoperative infection

    24 hours, 1 week, and 6 weeks

  • change in bone density

    baseline and 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Test Group

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: single Sagittal Split plate

Conventional Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: two conventional miniplates

Interventions

patients will be treated using a single Sagittal Split plate at the neutral zone of mandible

Test Group
