THE EFFICACY OF RESORBABLE PLATES VERSUS TITANIUM PLATES IN TERMS OF STABILITY IN MANDIBULAR FRACTURES.

Objective To compare the efficacy of resorbable plates against titanium plates to determine the fixation stability in reducing mandibular fractures Method: Subjects will be recruited and divided into two groups by random allocation. Consents will be obtained and fracture sites will be examined clinically and radiographically. Control group will receive titanium plates and test group will receive resorbable plates. The patients will be recalled immediately at first postop day then at the end of the first month , second month and the third month.They will be evaluated for the reduction of the fractures.
