Abstract

We present in this paper the treatment of mandibule fractures with miniplates of titanium. The miniplates have provided stable fixation and compared with other techniques improved in all concepts. The complication rates have been very low: there were not infections. The stability of fixation avoid to block with elastic training. Therefore, meticulous techniques is mandatory with particular emphasis in passive fitling of the plates.
