CLINICAL ADVANTAGES OF NEXT-GENERATION MINIPLATE SYSTEMS IN THE PREVENTION OF COMPLICATIONS AFTER MANDIBULAR FRACTURE FIXATION

Abstract

Abstract: The development of next-generation miniplate systems has revolutionized the management of mandibular fractures. Modern 3D, grid-type, and hybrid titanium plates offer superior biomechanical stability and minimize the risk of postoperative complications compared to conventional 2D plate systems. These innovative fixation systems are designed to provide optimal load distribution, reduced stress concentration, and enhanced adaptation to the anatomical contour of the mandible.
