- Abstract
Background: The efficacy in the fixation of mandibular fractures has been improving day by day. The techniques in the refinement of fixing mandibular fractures have evolved drastically. These progressively improving techniques provide functional and esthetic outcomes in the oromandibular fixation. The recent advances in the surgical techniques, plating technology, and thorough understanding of the angiogenic property have made fixing reliably complicated mandibular fractures possible. This review article highlights the state of the art technology and latest innovations in the mandibular fracture fixation. Conclusion: As an end point, the newer advancements and techniques are going to be upgraded day by day, thus aiding in the comfort of the patient as well as to the clinicians for better results and better prognosis. Different types of techniques are available according to different types of mandible fractures. This article throws insight into the various techniques (conventional to contemporary) of mandibular fracture fixation readily useful to the clinician as well as to the patient on the prognosis part.
