Purpose.
The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical behavior of the spanning reconstruction plate compared to standard plating techniques for mandibular symphyseal fractures.
Materials and Methods.
Twenty-five human mandible replicas were used.
Five unaltered synthetic mandibles were used as controls.
Four experimental groups of different reconstruction techniques with five in each group were tested.
Each synthetic mandible was subjected to a splaying force applied to the mandibular angle by a mechanical testing unit until the construct failed.
Peak load and stiffness were recorded.
The peak load and stiffness were analyzed using ANOVA and the Tukey test at a confidence level of 95% (P<0.05).
Results.
The two parallel plates’ group showed statistically significant lower values for peak load and stiffness compared to all other groups.
No statistically significant difference was found for peak load and stiffness between the control (C) group, lag screw (LS) group, and the spanning plate (SP1) group.
Conclusions.
The spanning reconstruction plate technique for fixation of mandibular symphyseal fractures showed similar mechanical behavior to the lag screw technique when subjected to splaying forces between the mandibular gonial angles and may be considered as an alternative technique when increased reconstructive strength is needed.
