Abstract
Mandibular trauma takes about 40% of the major share in the injuries of maxillofacial region. Mandibular angle is more vulnerable to its prominent exposure and also presence of third molars weakens this structure. Displaced angle fractures are usually treated with intraosseous boneplate alone or boneplate with intermaxillary fixation. Using miniplates and screws which most often monocortical in nature and insufficient to retain the approximation till the period of healing. Due to these reasons, we have taken up Hayton William's lower border wiring which gives dynamic compression and rigid approximation at the angle of mandible which allows primary healing within a short period of time.
