Abstract
Plate osteosynthesis has become standard treatment for patients with fractures of the mandible by affording anatomic reduction, rigid fixation, and immediate function. Miniplate osteosynthesis offers several advantages over compression osteosynthesis. Intraoral plate placement eliminates facial scars and the potential for injury to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. It also allows for simultaneous reduction, fixation, and occlusal adjustment. The results of miniplate osteosynthesis are comparable to compression osteosynthesis, and this technique should be considered standard in the treatment of patients with mandibular fractures.
