Abstract

Mandibular fractures are frequent and typically result from violent incidents involving people or vehicles. Over the past few decades, the mandibular fracture therapy has undergone steady change. The most notable developments in the treatment of mandibular fractures are derived from particular technological improvements in internal fixing techniques. Treatment options for mandibular fractures include both open and closed methods. To promote bone healing, fracture sites are immobilized using intermaxillary fixation (IMF) or other external or internal devices (such as plates and screws). Modern methods for managing mandibular fractures have made it possible to biologically stabilize bone segments and reduce infection rates. With this approach, pre-injury occlusion is restored, bone union is produced, and wire maxillomandibular immobilization is typically not necessary. All of this translates into a quicker, safer, and more comfortable return to the normalcy. Numerous methods have been employed; nevertheless, there is ambiguity on the precise signals for each strategy.
