Digital Technology Revolutionizing Mandibular Fracture Treatment
Comparative Analysis of Patient-Specific Plates and Conventional Titanium Plates
Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness of patient-specific plates utilizing digital technology in treating mandibular fractures compared to conventional titanium plates.
Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with mandibular fractures were included and randomly assigned to study or control groups. The study group underwent surgery with patient-specific plates generated through virtual surgery planning, while the control group had surgery with conventional titanium plates. Assessment criteria included malunion, infection, sensory disturbance, subjective occlusal disturbance, and occlusal force in functional maximum intercuspation (MICP).
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the study and control groups, except for a significant enhancement in occlusal force in functional MICP (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: Patient-specific plates using digital technology have demonstrated clinical effectiveness in treating mandibular fractures, offering advantages of time efficiency and benefits for less experienced surgeons.
Clinical Relevance: Patient-specific plates combined with digital technology can be clinically effective in mandibular fracture treatment.
