Comparison of Conventional Versus Right Angled Fixation Technique in Management of Mandibular Angle Fractures - A Prospective Randomized Clinical Study.

Purpose: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures ranges from observation to closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation to open reduction and internal fixation. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of three different techniques (transoral, transbuccal, and right-angled fixation technique) for single adaptational monocortical upper border plating in mandibular angle fracture.

Methods: The study conducted at our center was a prospective randomized study.

Association between shape of the mandibular condylar head and the occurrence of unilateral condylar fracture - A retrospective computed tomographic study.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the correlation between the shape of the mandibular condylar head and the incidence of unilateral condylar fracture using computed tomography. Medical records of patients diagnosed with unilateral condylar fractures from the year 2012-2019 were reviewed. The shape of the condylar head on the non - fractured side was analysed using a Radiant Dicom Viewer.
