Sažetak
The most successful treatment was achieved with mini-plate fixation in symphyseal and angle fractures. Intermaxillary fixation is indicated for mandibular body fractures with or without minimal displacement and a sufficient number of teeth. However, mini-plate fixation should be used for fractures with displacement. Wire fixation has been shown to be the poorest choice for all sites. Results showed that the intraoral approach has advantages over the extraoral one. The optimal time for treatment of mandibular fractures is within 72 h from time of injury. Even in fractures older than 7 days we recommended mini-plate fixation.
