Brief summary

The design of the custom made Plates is customized to meet the individual needs of each patient and surgeon. By selecting plate design features, surgeons can customize the plate to create a patient specific solution. The Patient Specific Plates are manufactured to the planned patient anatomy, eliminating the time needed for intraoperative adaption and creating a stronger plate with a lower overall profile. But Custom made plates were made in many materials such as titanium, Vitalium, PEEK, etc In this study we will compare the PEEK one with the titanium one to know which one is better in all aspects and if the PEEK one can overcome the shortcoming of the titanium one or not.

Detailed description

In patients with mandibular body fractures, will PEEK custom made plates be more efficient in reduction of body fractures accurately than titanium custom made plates (in terms of radiographic and clinical parameters)?
