title: Osteosynthesis of mandibular fractures using lag screws.
abstract: Osteosynthesis with lag screws is an essential supplement to osteosynthesis with mental plates. It is especially suitable in association with a neutralization plate for stabilization of short lamellar fractures. Wide lamellar fractures can be functionally stabilized with two or, in rare cases, three screws.
