ABSTRACT


Purpose: The Objective Of This Study Was To Compare The Clinical And Radiographic Assessment When Right / Left Mandibular Angle Fractures Treated With Two Miniplates Via Transbuccal System. It Does Not Affect The Time Used, Cost, And Bone Density Between The Two Sides. Patient And Methods: The Current Study Was Conducted On Twelve Patients Diagnosed And Treated At The Out Patient Clinic And General Anesthesia Theatre Unite Of Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty Of Dentistry, Minia University Dental Hospital (MUDH). Eight Of Them Were Males While Four Of Them Were Females With The Age Ranged From (16 - 50) Years. All Patients Suffered From Bilateral Mandibular Angle Fracture. Six Patients Were Treated Via Open Reduction And Internal Fixation In The First Group (right Angular Fracture) Group A, And Group B (left Angular Fracture) Using Two Miniplates.

Results: The Results Concluded That There Were No Significant Differences In Postoperative And Radiographic Assessment Between The Two Groups. Conclusion: We Concluded That Both Right And Left Mandibular Angle That Treated With Two Miniplates Technique Were Equally Effective. Although There Is A Common Idea That The Right Side Of The Mandible Is Preferable To The Left Side Of Many Surgeons, Which Can Produce Better Results.
