Abstract: The treatment of mandibular fractures has evolved from various forms of wiring, splinting, intermaxillary fixation, rigid fixation, compression plates, and mini plates. But in all this circumastances there is a chance of potential infection and malunion in mandibular fracture site. So in our study we used three dimensional titanium miniplates to stabilize the mandibular fracture site. The 3 D titanium miniplates stability and fixation and adaptibilty yielded better results than the conventional miniplates.
