INTERNAL MAXILLARY FIXATION RELIABILITY IN CONTRAST TO OPEN REDUCTION FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MANDIBULAR CONDYLE FRACTURES

Abstract

The goal of treating broken mandibular condyles is to return the affected jaw to 
its pre-trauma state in terms of masticatory ability, occlusion, symmetry, and function. The two 
methods can be used to treat the mandibular condylar fracture. These protocols consist of two 
types: the closed therapy, which employs closed reduction to immobilise the fracture segments, 
and the open treatment, which involves open reduction of the fracture segments by surgery, 
followed by internal fixation.
