Abstract
According to our analysis, the use of bicortical screws increases the stress amount on the condyle. For the patients with a tendency toward temporomandibular disorders, using miniplate fixation techniques may decrease the forces around the condyle. These findings should be useful for oral surgeons when deciding on the most appropriate fixation technique in patients with a tendency toward temporomandibular joint disorders.
