Abstract

Aim- To compare the inter-maxillary fixation screws and erich arch bar in maxilla-mandibular fixation in mandibular fractures. Materials and Method- A total number of 60 patients were selected for evaluation of statistically relevant data. Mandibular fracture patients were randomly divided into two groups after clinical examination and radiographic evaluation- GroupI: Maxillo mandibular fixation using erich's arch bar in 30patients; Group II: Maxillo-mandibular fixation using MMF screws in 30patients. Erich's arch bar-All the procedure in placing the dental arch bar was performed under local anaesthesia with their respective nerve blocks.IMFscrews-Placement of inter maxillary screws was done under Local infiltration. Maxillo-mandibular fixation will be achieved by using titanium maxillo-mandibullar fixation screws. Total number of screws used were 4 in each patient of Group2.After achieving appropriate Anaesthesia stab incision was given on required site and holes were drilled.
