5. Biomechanical Analysis of Implant plates for Mandibular Condyle fractures
University essay fromAbstract : In the field of maxillofacial surgery, the treatment for the recovery of the fracture at condyle region of the mandible has been carried out using Bio-metals such as Titanium, Cobalt, Stainless-Steel because they were considered the standard materials for Implant plate devices for fracture fixation. Using these materials have led to undesired disturbances where the patient must undergo secondary surgery after recovery leading to exposure of the fracture site to the surrounding, metal-ion release into the human system, stress-shielding and interruption during imaging i.
