Dr. Deepak Sharma, Dr. Shromi Roy Choudhury, Dr. Punit Singh Dikhit

Background: Mandibular fractures are typically caused by direct trauma to the lower jaw. The present study was conducted to compare 2D miniplates vs 3D miniplates in mandibular fractures. Materials & Methods: 58 cases of mandibular fractureof both genderswere divided into 2 groups. Group Ipatients were treated with 2.0-mm titanium 3D-miniplate and group IIpatients were treated with 2.0-mm titanium standard miniplates. Parameters such as sensory deficit /paresthesia and mouth opening at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months was recorded. Results: Group I had 19 males and 10 females and group II had 16 males and 13 females. Sensory deficit /paresthesia was seen in 2 in group I and 3 in group III at 1 month, 1 in group I and 2 in group II at 3 months and 0 in group I and 1 in group II at 6 months. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean mouth opening at 1 month was 25.2 mm and 25.1 mm in group I and II, at 3 months was 34.6 mm and 32.4 mm and at 6 months was 36.2 mm and 35.1 mm respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: 3D titanium miniplates can be used in place of traditional titanium miniplates. When compared to standard miniplates, the method provides a more dependable and effective treatment approach for mandibular fractures.
