This case report presents a novel technique for precompressing mandibular fractures using modified forceps. This method achieves anatomical reduction without requiring intraoperative intermaxillary fixation (IMF), simplifying treatment for partially dentate patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Orthognathic Surgery

Background:

  • Mandibular fractures often require intermaxillary fixation (IMF) for anatomical reduction.
  • Achieving precise reduction can be challenging, especially in partially dentate patients.
  • Alternative techniques to IMF are sought to improve surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a new technique for precompressing mandibular fractures.
  • To achieve anatomical reduction of fracture edges without intraoperative IMF.
  • To present an alternative reduction method for partially dentate patients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two modified reduction forceps for precompression.
  • Positioned one forceps at the inferior mandibular border.

  • Positioned the second forceps in the neutral zone, ideal for plate fixation.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful precompression of mandibular fracture edges was achieved.
    • Anatomical reduction was obtained without the need for intraoperative IMF.
    • The technique proved effective in a partially dentate patient.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a viable alternative for precompressing mandibular fractures.
    • This method facilitates anatomical reduction without intraoperative IMF, particularly in partially dentate patients.
    • The use of modified reduction forceps simplifies the reduction process.
