Abstract Goals in the management of maxillofacial fractures include restoration of normal occlusion with a dequate union of fracture segments, avoidance of complications such as infection and maintainence of facial symmetry and balance. The surgeon’s selection of the method of treatment of maxillofacial fractures whether conservative, closed or open management depends on careful evaluation of the type and location of the fracture, the conditon of the patient’s mouth, the age and general condition of the patient and the available materials and facilities. Anatomic bone reduction and three-dimensional rigid internal fixation of facial bones allow fast primary bOlle healing with immediate rstoration of their functions. Several plating systems are available for internal fixation of facial bones. The Wurzburg maxilofacial system is made of titaniuma nd is marketed by Leibinger and Lorenz. the AO/ASIF titanium craniofacial system is marketed by Syrrt.he s , Howmedica markets the Luhr vitallium maxillofacial system. The Champy stainless-steel system is marketed by Lo r e n z . Titanium and vitallium systems are preferable as they are more inert with lower profile. |
