Abstract
Arch bars and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws are the most popular ways to achieve IMF in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Both techniques have advantages and limitations. The author proposes a simple modification of the conventional arch bar in order to place it with 1.5 mm screws in a quicker procedure that is safer for the surgical team.Mesh:
