AIMS: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and stability of
the biodegradable fixation system for treatment of mandible fractures in
pediatric patients by measuring the bite force. METHODS: Sixty pediatric patients
with mandibular fractures (36 males, 24 females) were included in this study. The
2.5-mm resorbable plates were adapted along Champy's line of ideal osteosynthesis
and secured with four 2.5 mm diameter monocortical resorbable screws, 8 mm in
length. All patients were followed for 10 months. Clinical parameters, such as
soft tissue infection, nonunion, malunion, implant exposure, malocclusion, nerve
injury, and bite force for stability, were prospectively assessed. RESULTS:
Adequate fixation and primary bone healing was achieved in 100% of the cases. Six
minor complications (10%) were observed: 2 soft tissue infections (3%), 1 plate
dehiscence (2%), 1 malocclusion (2%), and 2 paresthesia (3%). CONCLUSION: 2.5-mm
resorbable plating system along Champy's line of ideal osteosynthesis is a good
treatment modality for mandible fractures in pediatric patients.
