he goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate Z shaped bone plate in mandibular fracture treatment regarding post operative healing, function restoration and esthetic. aims to answer are: In mandibular trauma population, what is the difference between internal fixation using conventional miniplates compared to z shaped bone plates regarding post operative healing, function restoration and esthetic? Participants will be divided equally and randomly in 2 groups as follows: Group A: eight patients treated with Z shaped bone plate. (Study group) Group B: eight patients restored with conventional two miniplates.(control group)

Radiographic evaluation (Bone density ratio at fracture line ) measured using orthopantomograms (OPGs) by ImageJ software.
Radiographic evaluation using orthopantomograms (OPGs) is performed immediately postoperatively, at 1 month and 4 months. To assess bone density along the fracture line, a densitometric analysis was conducted using the ImageJ system. Digital images are analyzed using ImageJ software. The mean gray value of a region of interest (ROI) drawn along the entire length of the fracture line was calculated. This gray value represents the relative bone density within the fracture site. Range: 0.0 - 1.0 (unitless ratio). Higher values indicate greater bone density and better healing
within 1week postoperative, 1month, 4month
Postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Range: 0 (no pain) - 10 (worst imaginable pain). Higher scores indicate worse pain
day 1 , day 3, and 1week postoperative
Clinical fracture stability evaluated by manual mobility test and tenderness on palpation.
