Mandibular Fractures

Brief summary

Different methods have been used in reducing mandibular fractures. Bone reduction forceps provides precise reduction and stabilize mandibular fracture segments.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of using bone reduction forceps in the reduction of isolated mandibular fractures. 10 patients complaining of isolated mandibular fractures in need of open reduction and internal fixation underwent reduction using bone reduction forceps. The patients followed up clinically after 1 and 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation will be performed by computed tomography (CT) preoperatively, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be done after 3 and 6 months

Interventions

DEVICEBone reducion forceps

Repositioning forceps provide a more accurate anatomical reduction and higher pre-compression can be achieved compared to IMF or manual reduction

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Change in radiodensitometric measurements	at 3rd, 6th months	cone-beam computerized tomograms (CBCT) used to analyze the mean bone density at the site of fracture
change in maximal mouth opening	1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months	maximal interincisal opening between maxillary and mandibular central incisors.
change in occlusion	1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months	Any occlusal disturbance including open bite or improper tooth contact will be recorded
change in pain level	1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 weeks, and 3 months	Pain: will be measured on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The patients will be asked to rate their postoperative pain on a 4-point scale (0= none, 1= slight, 2= moderate, 3- severe)
