Role of Intermaxillary Fixation Screws in Present Scenario of Maxillofacial Trauma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Inter-maxillary fixation (IMF) is commonly used for management of jaw fracture and in orthognathic surgery to achieve the occlusion. Some of the commonly used techniques of IMF include arch bar and various dental wirings. However IMF may not be efficiently attained in patients who are edentulous, partially dentulous or have compromised dentition using these traditional techniques. The purpose of this short communication is to describe disadvantages of conventional arch bars and to highlight merits and demerits of IMF screws. Keywords:IMF Screws; Arch Bar, Mandibular Fracture, Interdental wirings
