Summary
This study tested two different thicknesses of 3D titanium plates used to fix broken jawbones (mandibular body fractures). The goal was to see which thickness leads to less pain and fewer complications like infection or bite problems. The trial involved 18 adults aged 20-60 who needed surgery for a broken jaw. Results could help surgeons choose the best plate for each patient.
