Detailed description

This study is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. It was performed on sixteen patients with anterior mandibular fractures, selected from those admitted to the Emergency Department of Alexandria University Hospital. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the regional Ethical Review Board of the Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University. A written informed consent was signed by patients before the operation. Patients were divided equally into two groups, each consisting of eight patients.
