Abstract
Open reduction and internal fixation are typically the preferred treatments for mandibular syphilis and parasymphysis fractures. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the effectiveness of conventional manipulates with double Y-shaped manipulates in treating mandibular anterior fractures. Hence, a total of twenty-two patients were split into two groups at random, each consisting of eleven samples: Group I underwent fracture fixation using traditional two manipulates, whereas Group II underwent fracture fixation using a double Y-shaped manipulate. Thus, we show that anterior mandibular fractures can be successfully treated with both traditional miniplates and double Y-shaped miniplates. Excellent fracture stability was shown by both plates.
