Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Mandibular fractures require effective intermaxillary fixation for proper healing.
  • Traditional methods like arch bars have limitations in terms of cost, time, and complexity.

Observation:

  • A novel technique utilizing beads and wires for intermaxillary fixation was developed.
  • This method was applied to patients with mandibular fractures undergoing both open and closed reduction.

Findings:

  • The bead and wire method demonstrated effectiveness in stabilizing mandibular fractures.
  • The procedure is characterized by its simplicity, minimal time requirement, and low cost.
  • Key advantages were identified when compared to the classic arch bar, wire, and eyelet fixation method.
