title: [Plate osteosynthesis in the mandible].
abstract: The indications for plate osteosynthesis concern above all fractures of the edentulous or partially edentulous mandible. In cases of fractures in the anterior and premolar regions, the intra-oral approach should be given preference. The technique of plate shifting complies with the rules of the Working Group on Osteosynthesis. Arched plates have proved useful.
