Description
Summary:This study aims to assess the outcomes of mandibular fractures treated through surgical stabilization using plates and screws, focusing on factors such as postoperative complications, patient satisfaction, and functional recovery. A total of 42 patients were included in the study. Surgical interventions involved the application of plates and screws at the fracture sites. Postoperative complications, including infection, hardware failure, and malocclusion, were recorded. Surgical stabilization of mandibular fractures using plates and screws demonstrates favorable outcomes in terms of stability, occlusal alignment, and patient satisfaction. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights into the efficacy of this surgical approach, highlighting its role in achieving successful outcomes for mandibular fracture management. Further prospective studies and randomized controlled trials are recommended to strengthen the evidence base and refine treatment protocols.
