Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the development of interlocking 3D miniplates designed to provide better stability for complex mandible fractures while avoiding damage to vital structures like dental roots and nerves.
- It involved a design process that included finite element analysis to assess stress states in both human and goat mandible models under various conditions, confirming the design's feasibility for real-world application.
- Biomechanical testing showed that the interlocking 3D miniplates reduced displacement significantly compared to standard miniplates, indicating their potential for improved stability in managing mandibular fractures, though further research is needed.
