[Long-term outcome after intraoral miniplate osteosynthesis in mandibular angle fractures].
The success or failure of intraoral miniplate osteosynthesis is mainly influenced by right indication. More than 90% of the fractures of the mandible were treated successfully by intraoral noncompressive miniplate osteosynthesis. Hence a postoperative intermaxillar fixation seems not to be necessary. Considering the range of indication this is an effective method of no complications. Nevertheless an immobilisation for one week is accepted by our patients without any problems and is recommended according to normal healing. The collective of our patients in Essen is selected as unilateral multiple fractures, comminuted fractures and infected fractures of the mandible were not treated by miniplate osteosynthesis.
