Abstract

AIM: The aim of study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of Titanium miniplates over stainless steel miniplatesinmandibular anterior fracture. Materials and Methodology: A total number of 20 patients with isolated mandibular fracture (single or multiple) without pre existing infection and comminution were selected. Patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups of 10 patients each. Group A patients underwent osteosynthesis using TITANIUM miniplates while Group B patients underwent osteosynthesis using STAINLESS STEEL miniplatesFractures were treated under LA/GA by the same oral and maxillofacial surgeon . Pain (in Visual Analogue Scale score), swelling ,infection, Wound dehiscence, hardware failure was measured postoperatively on 1st week, 1st month and 3 month 6 month.
