Protocol summary

Study aim
To compare the surgical outcome and post op complications of symphysis and parasymhysis fractures in 3-D and conventional miniplating plating system.
Design
A single blinded, randomized control trial in which cases and controls were sampled via consecutive sampling with concealed envelope method with a sample size of 62, enrolled between August 2023 to August 2024
Settings and conduct
30 Military Dental Centre, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Cantt., Peshawar, KPK
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Pain following history of fall/ RTA/ trauma Age range of 18-50. Both genders, Male and Female American Society of Anesthesiologist ASA Class 1 Isolated mandible fracture Exclusion criteria: Infection at site of fracture Malunited fractures Comminuted fractures Panfacial trauma Patients with a bone pathology (Osteomyelitis, Osteoporosis and Paget’s Disease) Chronic Illness (Diabetes, Asthma and Hypertension)
Intervention groups
Under strict aseptic conditions, general anesthesia and local anesthesia given in fracture vicinity by a single surgical team. Temporary MMF will be done using eyelets and tie wires to achieve best possible occlusion. Plates will be adapted and secured with the help of screws. In Group A patients with 3D plates fixation the upper cross bar will lie in the subapical region.
Main outcome variables

Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups using sealed envelope method. Individuals with odd numbers in the envelopes will be included in Group A and even numbers in Group B. A third person not being part of the study will open the envelopes and the patients will be allocated to the mentioned groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Group A: Mandible fractures will be fixated with 3D plates according to Champys lines of Osteosynthesis. All cases will be treated under strict aseptic conditions, general anesthesia and local anesthesia ( 1.8ml 2% Lignocaine with Adrenaline 1:100,000;Septodont, USA) given in fracture vicinity by a single surgical team. Temporary MMF will be done using eyelets and tie wires (prestretched, round, stainless steel, 24 gauge, 6 inches in length) to achieve best possible occlusion. One titanium 3-D plates, square shaped 4 hole, 2mm thick [Grade 4] (Moin International CE, Pakistan) will be adapted and secured with the help of titanium monocortical screws [Grade 5] around the fracture line in the subapical region. 7mm length screws will be inserted in upper holes and 9mm in lower hole. Muscle and then mucosal closure will be done with vicryl 3.0 (Ethicon, USA) respectively. All patients will be prescribed I/V pre-op broad spectrum antibiotics (Inj I/V Augmentine 1.2g BD, Inj I/V Flagyl 500mg BD) which will be continued post-op along with analgesics (Inj I/V Toradol 30mg TDS), antiemetic (Inj I/V Maxalon 10mg STAT) and fluids (Inf I/V Ringer Lactate + 5% Dextrose over 24 hrs) for 3 days according to the ward protocol. Post-op MMF will only be done if occlusion is not statsfactory. Patient will be advised liquid diet and strict oral hygiene instructions (intraoral irrigation and suctioning, 24 hours after the procedure with Enziclor (0.15% Benzydamine Hydrochorlide/ 0.2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate)( Platinum Pharmacueticals Pvt Ltd, Pakistan) 3 times a day, after meals.

Description
Control group: Group B: Mandible fractures will be Fixated with conventional mini plates According to Champys line of Osteosynthesis. All cases will be treated under strict aseptic conditions, general anesthesia and local anesthesia (1.8ml 2% Lignocaine with Adrenaline 1:100,000;Septodont, USA) given in fracture vicinity by a single surgical team. Temporary MMF will be done using eyelets and tie wires (prestretched, round, stainless steel, 24 gauge, 6 inches in length) to achieve best possible occlusion. Conventional titanium miniplates (Moin International CE, Pakistan); one 4/5 hole[Grade 5] in subapical region with 7mm [Grade 4] screws and 5/6 hole [Grade 5] in inferior boarder region with 9mm screws [Grade4] will be adapted and secured. Number of hole can Increase as per obliqueness of fracture line. Muscle and then mucosal closure will be done with vicryl 3.0 (Ethicon, USA) respectively. All patients will be prescribed I/V pre-op broad spectrum antibiotics (Inj I/V Augmentine 1.2g BD, Inj I/V Flagyl 500mg BD) which will be continued post-op along with analgesics (Inj I/V Toradol 30mg TDS), antiemetic (Inj I/V Maxalon 10mg STAT) and fluids for 3 days (Inf I/V Ringer Lactate + 5% Dextrose over 24 hrs) according to the ward protocol. Post-op MMF will only be done if per-op stability of the fractured segments is not achieved. Patient will be advised liquid diet and strict oral hygiene instructions (intraoral irrigation and suctioning, 24 hours after the procedure with Enziclor (0.15% Benzydamine Hydrochorlide/ 0.2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate)( Platinum Pharmacueticals Pvt Ltd, Pakistan) 3 times a day after meals.
