The compression osteosynthesis in the treatment of mandibular fractures

We have used self compression plates and screws in the treatment of carefully selected 31 cases of mandibular fractures. It provides stable fixation and compression both buccal and lingual sides of the fracture site without rotation. In these cases, this procedure can obviate the need for dental fixation in young and active patients or in patients with multiple injuries. It can also be used for fixing the mandible after osteotomy or ostectomy, for bone transplants and in the temporary transection of the mandible for the surgical treatment of malignant tumors of the tongue and floor of mouth.
