Orthodontics Anchorage in Mandibular Angle Fractures -A Brief Review

Abstract

Maxillofacial fracture could be a quite common injury these days particularly in jaw angle. The healing process is physiologically complicated including each biological and mechanical aspects. Over the past decade, mandibular angle fracture simulation and modeling has been used to understand its details and mechanisms, to analyze specific clinical inquiry and to style healing approches. This paper aims to review the history and also the most recent work on biological and mechanical properties of miniplate . This paper provides a short review of mandibular angle fracture, miniplate evolution, biomaterials utilized in miniplates, structure of miniplates and finite element analysis of miniplate in three dimensional (3D) model.
