  • Title: Use of the MatrixWAVE™ system with dentures to establish maxillomandibular fixation in edentulous patients.
    Author: Agochukwu NB, Maus J, Wang D, Stewart D.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2018 May; 56(4):343-345. PubMed ID: 29655660.
    Abstract:
    Various methods have been described to establish maxillomandibular fixation in the treatment of fractures of atrophic, edentulous mandibles. We used the Synthes MatrixWAVE™ system (DePuy Synthes) in combination with dentures in two patients with fractured, edentulous, atrophic mandibles. Fixation was maintained for fractures that were not amenable to, or did not require, open reduction and internal fixation, and the mandibles were both well-healed and had good function at the end of treatment.
