Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients presenting with anterior mandibular fractures (symphysis or parasymphysis fracture mandible) Patients with anterior mandibular fractures (symphysis or parasymphysis fracture mandible), associated with additional maxillary or other associated facial fractures will also be included, unless anterior mandible requires reconstruction plate fixation Age >18 and less than 50 years Patients presenting within one week of fracture incident

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with age of 18 years or less; or more than 50 years Communited anterior mandibular fractures requiring obvious management with reconstruction plating Patients with active infection (pus) at the site of fracture Patients with bone loss at the site of fracture Mal-united fractures or fractures presenting more than 1 week late Edentulous patients requiring reconstruction plate Patient with medical co-morbidities like neurological disorders or low GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale); spine/cervical injuries; uncontrolled diabetes; uncontrolled hypertension, cardio-vascular disorders, bleeding disorders: which contra-indicate surgical management. Patient with known cancer or undergoing/having history of radio-therapy/chemo-therapy. Patient who are active smokers/alcoholic Pregnant patient Patients lost to follow up
