We have used the Luhr mini compression system in the treatment of 19 mandibular fracture cases. In this report, we discuss our clinical experiences and results in these cases.<BR>The site of mandibular fracture for which mini-plate was used was symphysis in 7 cases, mandibular angle in 7 cases, the body of the mandible in 3 cases, the condylar process in 3 cases and mental protuberance in 1 case. In the main, the plate was successfully used for the fractures with relatively larger displacement of the fractured bone. As in other mini plates, intra-oral approach is possible with the plate we used, and adequate fixation can be obtained by relatively easy procedures, with which the period of the intermaxillary fixation can be shortened. Furthermore, both the plate and the screw are made of vitallium having good tissue affinity and are highly anticorrosive, making postoperative removal unnecessary. From the above, it was concluded that this plate system is useful for mandibular fractures treatment.
