OBJECTIVES: We compared resorbable plates with @entity702 plates for treatment of combined mandibular angle and symphyseal @entity174 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 with mandibular angle and symphysis @entity174 were divided into two groups. The control (T) group received @entity702 plates while the experimental (R) group received resorbable plates. All procedures were carried out under general anesthesia using standard surgical techniques. We compared the frequency of wound dehiscence, development of @entity281 , @entity3232 , malunion, screw breakage, and any other technical difficulties between the two groups. RESULTS: Thirteen @entity1 were included in the R group, where 39 resorbable plates were applied. The T group consisted of 16 @entity1 who received 48 @entity702 plates. The mean age in the R and T groups was 28.29 and 24.23 years, respectively. Primary healing of the fractured mandible was obtained in all @entity1 in both groups. @entity260 were minor and transient. Moreover, there were no significant differences in the rates of various complications between the two groups. Breakage of 3 screws during the perioperative period was seen in the R group, while no screws or plates were broken in the T group. CONCLUSION: Resorbable plates can be used to stabilize combined mandibular angle and symphysis @entity174 .
