Abstract :
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the patients for functional results after conservative treatment of mandibular condylar fracture with intermaxillary fixation.
MATERIALS & METHODS
This study included 36 patients, with condylar fractures including head, neck or subcondylar fractures with or without associated injuries, treated with intermaxillary fixation. In a follow up period of 3 months, pain in the TMJ, lateral and protrusive movements and pain in muscles of mastication were evaluated.
RESULTS
A very highly significant improvement (p<.001) in all the parameters selected, were observed with marked improvement in the occlusion.
CONCLUSION
The conservative treatment of mandibular condyle fractures is an effective treatment modality in terms of functional outcome. However assessment of factors pertaining to individual cases must be made to determine the mode of therapy, most likely to produce a favorable outcome.
