The principles of the treatment of mandibular fractures have changed recently, although the objective of re-establishing the occlusion and masticatory function remains the same. Splinting of teeth is an old way of immobilising fractures but the advent of modern biomaterials has changed clinical practice towards plating the bone and early restoration of function. We present a brief historical overview of techniques and systems that have been used for stabilisation of mandibular fractures.
下颌骨骨折的治疗原则近来已有所改变，尽管重建咬合及咀嚼功能的目标仍保持不变。牙间结扎是固定骨折的一种古老方法，但现代生物材料的出现已使临床实践转向对骨骼进行接骨板固定及早期功能恢复。我们简要回顾了用于稳定下颌骨骨折的技术和系统的历史概况。
