Detailed Description
Evaluating the biting force after using 2.0 mm single locking miniplate versus 2.0 mm two conventional non-locking miniplates in the management of parasymphyseal fracture in patients with two-line mandibular fractures.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Locking miniplate The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 single locking miniplates and the fractured segments of the angle will be fixed conventionally using 2.0 single non-locking miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge. |
Procedure: 2.0 single locking miniplates
The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 single locking miniplates placed on the inferior border of the mandible.
|
Experimental: Non-locking miniplates The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 two non-locking miniplates and the fractured segments of the angle will be fixed conventionally using 2.0 single non-locking miniplate placed on the external oblique ridge. |
Procedure: 2.0 single locking miniplates
The fractured segments in the parasymphyseal region will be fixed using 2.0 single locking miniplates placed on the inferior border of the mandible.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Biting force [6 months]
Biting force will be measured using occlusal biting force meter (Higher biting force record is better)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Stability of fractured segments [6 weeks]
Bi-manual manipulation (Binary Yes/No)
- Pain intensity [10 days]
Visual analog scale (0-10) 0=No pain & 10=Severe pain
- Occlusion [6 months]
Clinical examination (Intact/Deranged)
- Infection [6 months]
Clinical examination (Present/Absent)
- Hardware failure [6 months]
Clinical examination (Present/Absent)
- Paraesthesia [6 months]
Observation/Contact detection/Pin-brick nociception (0-10) 0=No sensation & 10= Normal sensation
- Wound dehiscence [6 months]
Clinical examination (Present/Absent)
