Comparative evaluation of different osteosynthesis modalities with respect to lingual splaying in mandibular interforaminal fractures using CBCT: A prospective study.

Introduction: The management of interforaminal fracture can prove to be challenging because of its unique anatomy and muscular forces. Often, lingual splaying has been found either postoperatively or even during the procedures in such fractures and can be challenging when it comes to managing them. Various modalities such as miniplates, lag screws, and three-dimensional (3D) miniplates have been utilized to manage these fractures.
