Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: To compare the efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) miniplates with standard miniplates in the osteosynthesis of anterior mandibular fractures on the basis of bite force recordings and other clinical parameters.
Methods: A prospective randomized double-blinded clinical trial was carried out for the treatment of anterior mandibular fractures. In total, 20 patients were randomly divided into two groups of 2-mm 3D and standard titanium miniplates. The assessment of patients was done at weekly intervals for 6 weeks using bite force recordings and other clinical parameters.
Results: A statistically significant difference was found in the duration of surgery which was less in group A as compared to group B ( = 0.03). No significant difference was found in other clinical parameters.
Interpretation And Conclusion: The clinical outcome of both the 3D and standard miniplate systems in the present study was similar; however, the following advantages with the use of 3D miniplates can be highlighted:Relatively lesser operating time.Three-dimensional stability of the fracture site and simultaneous stabilization at superior and inferior borders in the fixation of mandibular fractures.

One-plate versus two-plate fixation in the treatment of mandibular angle fractures: a retrospective two-centre comparative study.

Background: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial, particularly regarding the method of fixation. The primary aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes following treatment with 1-plate versus 2-plate fixation across two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. The secondary aim was to evaluate associations between patient-, trauma-, and procedure-specific factors with postoperative complications and to identify high-risk patients for secondary osteosynthesis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to critically evaluate and synthesize the available evidence on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the management of mandibular and non-mandibular maxillofacial fractures. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted up to February 2025 based on predefined inclusion criteria. The risk of bias in randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (ROB) tool, while the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied to observational studies.

Background: Mandibular fractures are the most common facial fractures treated in the emergency setting, with significant variability in operative management across surgical specialties. Plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS), otolaryngology (ENT), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) each approach mandibular fracture repair with different philosophies, particularly regarding tooth extraction within the fracture line. However, few studies directly compare these practices.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global healthcare, including patterns of maxillofacial trauma. This multicentre retrospective study analysed 3954 patients treated from January 2018 to December 2023 at hospitals in Bratislava, Martin, and Kosice, covering three periods: pre-COVID, during COVID, and post-COVID. Data included patient demographics, trauma causes, treatment methods, and complication rates.

Endodontic-periodontal lesions (EPLs) complicated by cemental tears present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This case report describes the successful management of a 66-year-old male patient with a mandibular second molar (#18) exhibiting an EPL complicated by a cemental tear. Clinical examination revealed a draining sinus tract, deep periodontal pockets, and radiographic evidence of a "J-shaped" lesion and a radiopaque cemental fragment.
