Abstract
A technique of intermaxillary fixation using screws anchored in the maxilla and mandible has been described. AO (Synthes) screws with a diameter of 3.5 mm and 12 mm to 16 mm in length were inserted at the antero-lateral surface of the maxilla and the buccal surface of the mandible. This technique is particularly suitable for mandibular fractures in denture wearing patients.Entities:
