Comparison of 2Â mm single locking miniplates versus 2Â mm two non-locking miniplates in symphysis and parasymphysis fracture of mandible

Single locking miniplates give the advantage of equally good stability and early restoration of function with almost similar results as seen in osteosynthesis with two miniplates. It was also found that less precision was required in plate adaptation when using single locking miniplate. This study suggests that there is not much difference in surgical outcome with the use of either single locking miniplate or two conventional miniplates in anterior mandibular region.
