A novel plate design versus two conventional miniplates for treatment of mandibular angle fractures (a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial)

Abstract Background Among facial skeletal injuries, mandibular fractures are highly prevalent, second after nasal bone fractures. Consequently, a lot of research has focused on treatment modalities for these fractures, to ensure faster healing & rigid fixation. One of these modalities is the application of the Sagittal Split plate at the mandibular angle. The objective of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the use of a novel Sagittal Split Osteotomy Plate (SSO
