Abstract

Objective: To compare the outcomes stability, malunion and intra operative time by using 2.0mm conventional miniplates and 3-D plates in management of the anterior mandibular fracture. Materials and Methods: Total 94 patients were included and equally divided in two groups. Fixation of fracture was done by 2.0mm conventional miniplates in Group-A and a single 3D plate in Group-B. Stability, healing and malunion were assessed on follow-up at 1st week, 6th week, and 12th week using Chi Square Test. Results: Stability was 91.5% in group-A and 93.6% in group-B. Clinically malunion was 12.8% at 1st week, 14.8% at 2nd week, 14.8% at 8th week in group-A while in group-B, malunion was 8.5% at 1st week, 2nd week and at 8th week. Radiographically, malunion was 12.8% at 1st week, 14.8% at 2nd week, 14.8% at 8th week in group-A while in group-B, malunion was 8.5% at 1stweek, 2nd week and at 8th week. Conclusion: The results of the study concluded that 3-D plating system has advantages over conventional 2 mm miniplates.
