Objective: The use of intermaxillary fixation to treat jaw fractures is a procedure still widely carried out in third world countries either because of the unavailability of miniplates to treat jaw fractures or due to their expensive nature. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of intermaxillary fixation on ventilatory functions of adult Nigerians so as to establish baseline data for future comparisons in Africans.
Methods: One hundred and forty-eight subjects comprising 120 (81%) males and 28 (19%) females were studied.
