Filter by:The main goal in management of mandibular fractures is to restore the pre-injury form and function, with the least disability and shortest recovery period.
This study compared the surgical approach to the lower jaw fractures, an approach from the face and an approach from inside the mouth were used and compared for the outcomes.
A randomized prospective clinical study to compare screw Retained Arch Bar and Conventional Erich's Arch Bar in Maxillomandibular Fixation
Patients sustaining fractures of the upper (maxilla) and/or lower (mandible) jaw may be candidates for the minimally invasive technology evaluated in this study. Patients will be offered standard care including steel jaw wires or the polymer-based "zip tie"-like devices to be studied. Written consent with a full explanation of traditional "jaw wiring" techniques versus this experimental approach will be obtained from the patient. As mandible and maxilla fractures are typically treated under general anesthesia in the operating room, the devices will be applied to the patient's dentition while under general anesthetic. An exception to this will be minimally displaced or easily reduced fractures that can be treated by applying these devices in clinic under topical or local anesthetic. (Of note, wire-based techniques have been used for decades in a clinic-based application for such minimally or easily-reduced fractures.) The devices will allow stabilizing forces to the dental occlusion, achieving a similar function to temporary steel wire techniques ("arch bars"). This will allow the surgeon/principal investigator to treat the fractures with standard techniques such as applying titanium plates applied to the bone with titanium screws (known as "open reduction with internal fixation") or with sustained immobilization for 1-6 weeks (known as "closed reduction"). Note the devices are approved for 3 weeks duration. If treatment requires more than 3 weeks of immobilization, the devices will be removed and new devices re-applied. The experimental devices will be used solely as a replacement for wire-based techniques to achieve an immobile, stable jaw. If for any reason the required forces needed for jaw fracture stabilization are deemed inadequate with the experimental devices, standard steel wire techniques will be employed.
This study will address medical devices manufactured by Biomet Microfixation (d.b.a. Zimmer Biomet) designed for fixation and stabilization of the facial and mandibular skeleton.
14 patients having recent anterior mandibular fracture divided into two groups. Group A has 6 patients and treated using Herbert bone screw, and group B has 6 patients and treated using lag screw. Clinical follow-up was conducted after 24-hours, one, four, six, and twelve weeks. In addition, a radiographic investigation was performed after twelve weeks to estimate the mean bone density across the fracture line.
compare between the effect of shockwave therapy and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on healing process of fresh mandibular fractures
This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. It was performed on sixteen patients with anterior mandibular fractures, to compare Double Y-shaped plates and Lag Screws in fracture fixation from clinical and radiographic perspectives.
The goal of this study is to perform a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of vitamin C versus placebo on wound healing in mandibular fracture patients.
Patients with mandibular sub-condylar fractures underwent either either open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) or closed reduction with external fixation (CREF) and were followed up for 6 months to assess treatment adequacy with the hypothesis that ORIF is superior to CREF.
