Comparison of 3D plate and locking plate in treatment of mandibular fracture —a clinical study

ConclusionBoth 3D titanium miniplates and locking plate are effective in the treatment of mandibular fractures, and overall complication rates are lesser. However, the 3D plating system uses less hardware in cases of parasymphysis and symphysis fractures and more hardware in cases of body and angle fractures.
