In 80% of cases, mandibular fracture site was parasymphysis. The mean operating time for 3D plates (43.20 min) was significantly lower than that for locking plates (54.82 min),\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001. All cases operated by 3D plates compared to 60% by locking mini-plates did not need intermaxillary fixation,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.025. The 80% of cases operated by 3D plates did not require postoperative occlusion correction compared to 30% in another group,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.01. For other parameters such as postoperative sensory disturbance, postoperative infection, incidence tooth damage, vertical displacement of mandible, feeling of plate after platting, and chewing efficiency after 1 week, there were no statistical significant differences between the two groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The outcome of 2.0mm 3D mini-plate is better in terms of operating time required, post-operative need of intermaxillary fixation and occlusal correction. While the outcome is similar to the use of non-compression unicortical 2.00mm locking miniplate in parameters like infection rate and incidence of tooth damage etc.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_53_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,17]],"date-time":"2020-12-17T08:40:48Z","timestamp":1608194448000},"page":"263-269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparative study of outcomes between locking plates and three-dimensional plates in mandibular fractures"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shaikh","family":"Amjad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Indian Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jalna, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MD","family":"Kalim Ansari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed S.","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tabishur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1001\/jamafacial.2018.1836","article-title":"Risk factors associated with complications after treatment of mandible fractures","volume":"21","author":"Hsieh","year":"2019","journal-title":"JAMA Facial Plast Surg"},{"key":"R2-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"383","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006-017-0642-1","article-title":"Comparison of 3D plate and locking plate in treatment of mandibular fracture \u2013 A clinical study","volume":"21","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2017","journal-title":"Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R4-20250920","first-page":"9","article-title":"Airway management of the patient with maxillofacial trauma: Review of the literature and suggested clinical approach","author":"Barak","year":"2015","journal-title":"Biomed Res Int"},{"key":"R5-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0029-1202591","article-title":"Choice of internal rigid fixation materials in the treatment of facial fractures","volume":"2","author":"Gilardino","year":"2009","journal-title":"Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr"},{"key":"R7-20250920","first-page":"20","article-title":"Efficacy of 3-dimensional plates over Champy's miniplates in mandibular anterior fractures","volume":"6","author":"Barde","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Int Oral Health"},{"key":"R8-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"972","DOI":"10.1007\/s12663-015-0764-7","article-title":"Bite force evaluation of conventional plating system versus locking plating system for mandibular fracture","volume":"14","author":"Giri","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Oral Surg"},{"key":"R9-20250920","first-page":"353","article-title":"The value of 3-dimensional plates in maxillofacial surgery","volume":"93","author":"Farmand","year":"1992","journal-title":"Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac"},{"key":"R10-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42e","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000177687.83247.27","article-title":"Two hundred ninety-four consecutive facial fractures in an urban trauma center: Lessons learned","volume":"116","author":"Kelley","year":"2005","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"R11-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.4103\/2231-0746.119231","article-title":"Conventional 2.0 mm miniplates versus 3-D plates in mandibular fractures","volume":"3","author":"Sadhwani","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R12-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1319","DOI":"10.1053\/joms.2002.35732","article-title":"Does plate adaptation affect stability.
