  • Title: Mandibular fracture reduction without intraoperative intermaxillary fixation: a technique using two modified reduction forceps.
    Author: Shinohara EH, Mitsuda ST, Miyagusko JM, Horikawa FK.
    Journal: J Contemp Dent Pract; 2006 Feb 15; 7(1):150-6. PubMed ID: 16491158.
    Abstract:
    This case report demonstrates a technique that is useful for precompressing mandibular fractures and obtaining anatomical reduction of the fracture edges without the use of peroperative intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in a mandibular fracture by using two modified reduction forceps. The first forcep is positioned at the inferior mandibular border and the other in the neutral zone where it is an ideal location to place a fixation plate in mandibular fractures. This technique is indicated for the anatomic reduction in mandibular fractures of the partial dentate patient.
