Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Assessment of stability of fixation as evaluated by stability of occlusion at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th post-op day. 2. Assessment of better bone healing as evaluated by recording bite force using a calibrated digital bite force meter at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th post-operative day. SecondaryTimepoint: 1. Assessment of stability of fixation as evaluated by stability of occlusion at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th post-op day. 2. Assessment of better bone healing as evaluated by recording bite force using a calibrated digital bite force meter at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th post-operative day. Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- To compare the rate of complications with either technique of treatment.Timepoint: at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th post-operative day
