Comparison of the Post-operative Efficacy of Arch Bar With Single Plate and Two Plate Fixation in Mandibular Parasymphsis Fracture.

This clinical trial is designed to compare post-operative infection, symptoms of paresthesia, inferior border misalignment and operating time of one plate with arch bar against standard two miniplates in mandibular parasymphysis fracture in order to achieve the treatment which is beneficial for the patients. This study will contribute to literature for the betterment of patient.

The objective of this study is to compare the post-operative efficacy of arch bar with single plate and two plate fixation in mandibular parasymphsis fracture.

Inclusion criteria

All patients with mandibular unilateral parasymphysis fracture

Exclusion criteria

Mandibular defect fractures.
Grossly comminuted fractures.
Medically compromised patient.(e.g uncontrolled metabolic disease

immunocompromised patient, patient receiving radiation and chemotherapy).
Multiple fracture of Mandible.

Treatment and study plan

Titanium miniplates

Device

Titanium miniplates are used for open reduction and internal fixation in mandible fractures according to Champy's principle of osteosynthesis

Arch Bar

Other

Arch bars are used for intermaxillary fixation in facial fractures as a mean of closed reduction.In this study arch bars placed in tension zone will be combined with single miniplate placed at inferior border of mandible and this modality efficacy will be compared with two miniplate group.

Primary outcomes

Osseous alignment

Time frame: Final Alignment will be checked after one month

It is checked after the surgical procedure by evaluating the continuity of lower border of mandible on orthopentomogram on first post-operative day, after 15 days and after 1 month
