Efficiency of intraoral osteosynthesis in open fractures of the lower jaw in the area of the dental row

The article presents the results of a clinical study conducted on 100 patients with open fractures of the lower jaw within the dental arch. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using miniplate osteosynthesis with intraoral access. The surgeries were performed with a focus on minimizing trauma to the soft tissues surrounding the bone structure. The results demonstrate that intraoral access significantly reduces the risk of damage to these tissues, which in turn has a positive impact on the healing process. It was further established that this access minimally disrupts the extraosseous blood supply, vital for successful recovery after jaw trauma. This becomes particularly significant considering that good blood supply critically influences healing and functional recovery. The use of intraoral access also allows to avoid disruption of the architecture of the chewing muscles, which promotes faster recovery of their function. As a result, patients notice an improvement in chewing ability in a short period of time. Additionally, the operation performed in this way practically eliminates the possibility of damaging the marginal branch of the facial nerve, reducing the risk of neurological complications. Furthermore, there are no scars on the face, which ensures high aesthetic results and improves the quality of life of patients after surgical intervention. These results confirm the rationale for choosing intraoral access for the treatment of lower jaw fractures within the dental arch and highlight its advantages compared to traditional access methods. The study confirms the high efficiency of this approach in the treatment of lower jaw injuries, which will further improve clinical protocols and individualize approaches to reconstructive surgery.
