Erich Arch Bars, IMF Screws and Hybrid Arch Bars in the Management of Mandibular Fractures

Evaluation of Erich Arch Bars, IMF Screws and Hybrid Arch Bars in the Management of Mandibular Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Study

Sponsor

Mansoura University

Enrollment

105 participants

Start Date

Sep 16, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Mandibular Fractures

Summary

Treatment options of mandibular fractures can be accomplished with either closed treatment or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) refers to any method used to secure the maxilla and mandible in proper dental occlusion. MMF is a standard component of mandibular fracture management essential for closed treatment and commonly used du ring ORIF. Its three main principles are to establish occlusion, provide stability, and immobilize the jaws.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Erich Arch Bars, a medical device called Hybrid Arch Bars, and others for people with mandibular fractures. The study is currently recruiting participants at 2 locations. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 50 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DEVICEErich Arch Bars

Stainless steel plates with hooks for wire placement are adapted over the facial aspect of teeth so the wires would be inserted to go around the necks of teeth (circumdental wiring), then both maxillary and mandibular plates are ligated to each other in order to achieve MMF.

DEVICEHybrid Arch Bars

Screw retained titanium plates with hooks for wires are adapted properly then self drilling self locking screws will be drilled in between roots of teeth to avoid injury, after fixation both jaws will be wired to accomplish MMF

DEVICEIMF Screws

A total of four self drilling screws two in the maxilla and the other two in the mandible will be inserted in the bone above and below teeth roots apices to avoid injury, to be ligated to each other in a vertical and an X pattern to achieve MMF.
