3D Titanium Plates for Mandibular Body Fracture Fixation

Mandibular body fracture pose significant challenges in maxillofacial surgery due to their frequency, potential for functional impairment, and aesthetic concerns. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using titanium plates and screws have revolutionized the management of mandibular fractures. Recent advancements in technology have led to the development of patient-specific 3D titanium implants, offering the potential for improved anatomical fit and stability. Moreover, the concept of low-profile implants has gained traction, aiming to minimize soft tissue irritation and enhance patient comfort postoperatively.

Inclusion criteria: * Age ranging between 20-60 years. * Patients with mandibular body fractures requiring open reduction and fixation. * Patients with good health (ASA-I and ASA-II) without any contraindication for surgery or anesthesia. Exclusion criteria: * Patients with pre-existing neurological or musculoskeletal disease. * Patients with infected fractures. * Patients with simultaneous condylar fracture. * Patients with regional malignancy. * Medically compromised patients. * Patients with blood diseases or severe renal disorders.
