Abstract
Champy plates are becoming more and more accepted for the fixation of simple mandibular fractures. Champy plates have the following advantages over other metbods: the plates are small, flexible, easily adaptable and the monocortical screws allow a rapid surgical application. This case report and literature review examined the use of a locking bone plate/screw system for use in mandibular surgery. The use of a locking plate/screw system was found to be simple, and it offers advantages over conventional bone plates by not requiring the plate to be compressed to the bone to provide stability.
