Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study sought to verify the usefulness of mini-implant and surgical steel wire in the treatment of mandibular fracture through the objective identifi cation of the change of bone structure and bone density before and after reduction by evaluating radiological change through fractal analysis when mandibular fracture is treated using mini-implant and surgical wire.
Materials and Methods: This study looked at 45 patients (males: 38, female: 7) diagnosed with mandibular fracture in the oral and maxillofacial surgery division of Chung-Ang University Dental Hospital and who received open reduction and intra-osseous fi xation.
Result: The average fracture dimension values were higher for the group of the patients who had mini-implants and surgical wire treatment.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study on the usefulness of the reduction technique using mini-implant and surgical steel wire in the treatment of mandibular fracture through the fractal analysis method, the reduction technique using mini-implant and surgical steel wire is regarded as an effective method of minimizing the gap between mandibular fracture fragments.
