The aim of this simple nonrandomized and observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of single three-dimensional (3D) plate for the treatment of mandibular angle fractures without maxillomandibular fixation. A total of 30 patients with noncomminuted fractures of mandibular angle requiring open reduction and internal fixation were included in the study. All the patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using single 3D titanium locking miniplate placed with the help of transbuccal trocar or Synthes 90-degree hand piece and screw driver. 3D locking titanium miniplates used in our study was four-holed, box-shaped plate, and screws with 2 mm diameter and 8 mm length. The following clinical parameters were assessed for each patient at each follow-up visit: pain (visual analog scale: 0–5), swelling (visual analog scale: 0–5), mouth opening, infection, paresthesia, hardware failure (plate fracture), occlusal discrepancies, and mobility between fracture fragments. A significant decrease in pain level was seen during the follow-up visits. No statistically significant changes were seen in swelling, but mouth opening increased in the subsequent visits. Also better results were seen in terms of fracture stability and occlusion in the postoperative period. Two cases of infection and two cases of hardware failure were noted in sixth postoperative week. 3D plating system is an easy to use alternative to conventional miniplates to treat mandibular angle fractures that uses lesser foreign material, thus reducing the operative time and overall cost of the treatment. Better fracture stability and occlusion was also achieved using the 3D plating system.

Angle Fractures

Mandibular angle fractures are frequently encountered as they constitute an area of weakness. Complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of angle fractures commonly arise due to improper reduction and fixation methods that fail to counteract the dynamic muscle forces present in this region. Conventional reduction methods such as digital manipulation, intermaxillary fixation, towel clip traction, and wiring are associated with various limitations. This technical note highlights the fabrication and use of a computer-aided designing/computer-aided manufacturing–generated splint for ORIF of a superiorly displaced mandibular angle fracture. The splint consisted of 2 components: (1) a distal tooth-borne component to guide the teeth into maximum intercuspation and (2) a proximal bone-borne component to reduce the angle fracture. This composite splint facilitates simultaneous restoration of occlusion as well as reduction of mandibular angle fractures. The advantages of this technique include the following: (1) easy fabrication of splint, (2) easy and precise anatomical reduction of angle fracture, and (3) less operative time.
