The 1.5- and 2.0-mm resorbable plates were used and secured with monocortical resorbable screws 6 mm and 7 mm in length. All patients were followed up for 6 months. Clinical parameters, such as pain, swelling, soft-tissue infection, malocclusion, nerve injury, and bite force for stability, were prospectively assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fall from height (50%) was the most common cause of etiology, followed by road traffic accidents (35%). Maxillary alveolar # (40) was the most common fracture site, followed by nasal complex # (25%) and zygomatic complex # (25%). Appropriate fixation and adequate primary bone healing was achieved in 100% of the cases. Few minor complications were observed: (1) soft-tissue infection (5%) and (2) paresthesia (10%). There was a significant increase in bite force in the incisor and molar regions. Observation in clinical parameters shows that there was a significant reduction in postoperative pain and swelling at different follow-up periods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bioresorbable plating system is used as a load-sharing plate in a semirigid fixation technique after anatomic fracture reduction. Although its high costs limit its feasibility for use low infection rates, minimized second surgery for implant removal attracts its use. 1.5- and 2-mm resorbable plating system along is a good treatment modality for moderately displaced maxillary fractures in pediatric patients. Larger sample size and longer follow-up studies are required for conclusive results.<\/jats:p>\n
