Miniplates offer significant advantages in maxillofacial surgery, especially for trauma patients. This review highlights their benefits for jaw function, weight loss, and pulmonary function, deeming them the optimal treatment for maxillofacial fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Biomaterials in Medicine

Background:

  • Maxillofacial fractures pose significant challenges in patient care.
  • Traditional fixation methods may have limitations in functional recovery.
  • The role of advanced fixation devices is increasingly important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of miniplates in maxillofacial surgery.
  • To emphasize the benefits of miniplates in managing maxillofacial trauma.
  • To evaluate functional outcomes associated with miniplate fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review on miniplate applications.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on maxillofacial trauma.
  • Evaluation of functional outcomes including jaw, weight, and pulmonary function.
