Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate fixation effect of intermaxillary fixation screw.Methods:63 cases with mandibular fractures were treated with open reduction,and then internal fixation were managed with intermaxillary fixation using dental arch splint or intermaxillary fixation screw randomly.The operation time,postoperation periodontal index,mouth open degree,occluding relation and fracture healing were compared.Results:There was no significant difference upon occluding relation,fracture healing and mouth open degree under two treatment methods.Compared with dental arch splint fixation method,intermaxillary fixation screw had shorter operation time and better periodontal index.Conclusion:Intermaxillary fixation screw is a good intermaxillary fixation method because of short operation time.Furthermore,it can provide enough traction retention strength and easy to maintain oral hygiene.
