The specimens were then divided into two groups using random sampling. Each group consisted of ten mandibles each. The mandibles were fractured in mandibular symphysis region. Study group mandibles were subjected to fixation using 2.5 mm titanium miniplate using PUNPLAPOT plate positioning template. Control group specimens were subjected to fracture fixation without the use of template. All the 20 specimens were then subjected to dial gauge test of parallelism. Plate orientation with respect to lower border of mandible was checked for both the groups. PUNPLAPOT 2.0 is developed to be used in extremely oblique fractures.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Significant difference was noted in review parameters -plate parallelism and distance of screws from fracture line within study and control group. Results obtained with this template were statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n PUNPLAPOT definitely provides the maxillofacial surgeons a reliable template to position the miniplate at an optimum position. The template has few limitations like comminuted lower border fractures and severely oblique fractures. Further device development is aimed towards overcoming these.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_74_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,16]],"date-time":"2024-11-16T13:00:42Z","timestamp":1731762042000},"page":"433-438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Template for positioning miniplates (PUNPLAPOT-M) on mandibular symphysis: Novel innovation"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Prashant A.","family":"Punde","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fellow of International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Chicago, USA"},{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dental Science and Hospital, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Krishna Vishva Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University, Karad, Satara, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260427","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cxom.2008.10.009","article-title":"Mandible fracture: Transoral 2.0-mm locking miniplate plus 1 week maxillomandibular fixation","volume":"17","author":"Lazow","year":"2009","journal-title":"Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"R2-20260427","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/S0301-0503(78)80062-9","article-title":"Mandibular osteosynthesis by miniature screwed plates via a buccal approach","volume":"6","author":"Champy","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R3-20260427","article-title":"Search for patents","journal-title":"Uspto.gov"},{"key":"R5-20260427","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1061.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2016.01.016","article-title":"Custom-machined miniplates and bone-supported guides for orthognathic surgery: A new surgical procedure","volume":"74","author":"Brunso","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R6-20260427","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"497","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-124X.138715","article-title":"Anthropometrics of mental foramen in dry dentate and edentulous mandibles in Coastal Andhra population of Andhra Pradesh State","volume":"18","author":"Sanivarapu","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Indian Soc Periodontol"},{"key":"R7-20260427","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2743","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2010.05.080","article-title":"A prospective study of 3 treatment methods for isolated fractures of the mandibular angle","volume":"68","author":"Ellis","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"}],"container-title":["National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.njms_74_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T18:56:04Z","timestamp":1786647364000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/njms.njms_74_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/njms.njms_74_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["0975-5950","2229-3418"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0975-5950","type":"print"},{"value":"2229-3418","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-04-25","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-06-16","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
