Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the stability and clinical outcomes between the two miniplates and sagittal split plate (SSOP) in angle fracture fixation. Thirty-eight patients with a mandibular angle fracture were selected and divided randomly into two groups. Intervention was treated with SSOP, and the control group was treated with conventional two miniplates. Clinical evaluation included occlusion, edema, nerve affection, wound dehiscence and mouth opening. Radiographic parameters included the measurement of inter-ramus distance, inter-mental distance and bone density. All clinical parameters were evaluated at one week, one month and three months intervals. Radiographic parameters were evaluated immediately postoperative, and after three months. Results showed that SSOP had less postoperative complications (10.50%) than the two miniplates (31.60%). It can be concluded that both methods offered high performance in management of mandibular angle fractures. However, SSOP group had a significantly shorter operating time, increased bone density and less edema.

Clinical trial registration number: NCT03839368.
