Egypt24 participantsStarted 2025-09-16

Plain-language summary

Treatment options of mandibular fractures can be accomplished with either closed treatment or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) refers to any method used to secure the maxilla and mandible in proper dental occlusion. MMF is a standard component of mandibular fracture management essential for closed treatment and commonly used du ring ORIF. Its three main principles are to establish occlusion, provide stability, and immobilize the jaws.
