title: A novel versatile technique for achieving buccolingual intermaxillary fixation.
abstract: Intermaxillary fixation is commonly employed in maxillofacial trauma to utilise functional occlusion as a tool to perform open reduction and internal fixation of maxillary and mandibular fractures. This new technique seems to be a simple, efficient and rapid modality to achieve intermaxillary fixation.
