Intermaxillary fixation of mandibular fractures with the bracket-bar
1Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
Abstract:
An alternative method for intermaxillary fixation of mandibular fractures using a bracket-bar bonded to the teeth is described. The technique is easy to use, improves gingival health, reduces anaesthesia time and reduces the risk of transmitting blood-borne diseases to the surgeon through perforating injuries from wires.
