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

Abstract

Background: 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, whic
