Customized z Shaped Miniplate Versus Standard 2 Miniplates for Fixation of Parasymphyseal/Body Mandibular Fractures (a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating customized Z shaped miniplate and conventional two miniplates for Mandibular Fractures. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Mandibular fractures are a common type of facial fractures. The surgical treatment has developed over the years due to improved understanding of biomechanics, biomaterials and scientifically based treatment outcomes. since customized fixation mechanism is more suited to the bone surface which helps to meet the requirements of a semirigid fixation. Customized Z plate is a new geometry of miniplates that may provide superior preservation of mental nerve, stability, support and easier in adaptation compared to the standard 2 miniplates system for fixation of parasymhyseal/body mandibular fractures.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Planning was done using Mimics Innovation Suite 15.0 software for surgical planning, surgical simulation, and modeling of a custom-made Z-pattern plate installed on a standard personal computer system. The milling of a plate design on a titanium block was be done.
Mobilization of the fracture, removal of any soft tissue entrapped within the fracture line, and management of teeth in the fracture line, either by extraction or preservation. Followed by bone reduction into proper anatomical occlusion. Then conventional two miniplates was used according to Champy's osteosynthesis lines
