Objectives: Evaluation of bite force one, two, and four weeks after discharge following treatment of Le Fort I and/or Le Fort II fracture by rigid fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate bite force following treatment of Le Fort I and/or Le Fort II fractures by rigid fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation at one, two, and four weeks after discharge. This provides valuable results to guide the development of a treatment protocol for Le Fort fractures.
Background: We aimed to determine the minimum effective period of mandibulomaxillary fixation after the inadequate internal fixation of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fracture.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of the skeleton after the treatment of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fractures by measuring bite forces and to determine the minimum time required for effective mandibulomaxillary fixation following treatment with internal fixation and mandibulomaxillary fixation.
Method: A prospective study was performed to examine the treatment of Le Fort I or Le Fort II fracture in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery at the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
