Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Implantology
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is crucial for managing maxillofacial fractures.
  • Conventional MMF typically involves wiring arch bars together.
  • Existing methods may present challenges in terms of invasiveness or cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe a novel MMF technique: the Rohtak Dental College (RDC) technique.
  • To highlight the simplicity, speed, economy, and minimally invasive nature of the RDC technique.
  • To discuss the advantages of the RDC technique, particularly in preventing postoperative periodontal issues.

Main Methods:

  • The RDC technique utilizes 26-gauge stainless steel wires for fixation.
  • The method involves wiring together the upper and lower dental arches.
