    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Orthodontics

    Background:

    • Intermaxillary fixation is crucial for managing maxillofacial fractures and in orthognathic surgery.
    • Existing arch bars can be rigid, requiring specific adaptation for different jaw morphologies.
    • A need exists for a versatile, robust, and user-friendly fixation device.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new universal arch bar for intermaxillary fixation.
    • To evaluate its fabrication, properties, and clinical applicability.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a wave-shaped, thin metal plate with bucco-labially placed buttons.
    • Assessment of material flexibility, strength, and fixation capabilities.
    • Clinical application in trauma and orthognathic surgery cases.

    Main Results:

    • The developed arch bar is light, flexible, and strong, providing excellent fixation.
    • Its universal design, with identical superior and inferior borders, simplifies application.
    • Broad clinical utility demonstrated in diverse surgical scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • The new universal arch bar is an effective and versatile tool for intermaxillary fixation.
    • It offers advantages in managing maxillofacial trauma and in orthognathic procedures.
    • This device represents a significant advancement in fixation techniques.
