BIORESORBABLE PLATES IN MANAGEMENT OF MANDIBULAR ANGLE FRACTURE
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Rigid internal fixation of the jaw bones is a routine procedure for the management of facial fractures. Titanium plates and screws are routinely used for this purpose. The limitations of this system have led to the development of plates manufactured from bioresorbable materials which, in some cases, omits the necessity for the second surgery. However, concerns remain about the stability of fixation and the length of time required for their degradation and the possibility of foreign body reactions. The following case report tries to evaluate the treatment of mandibular angle fracture via a single biodegradable plate and address complication such as malocclusion, infection, soft tissue dehiscence and nonunion in these patients.
