Comparing maximal forces in resorbable poly-L-lactic acid and titanium plates for mandibular fracture fixation
Treatment for mandibular fractures is commonly performed via open reduction fixation with mini titanium or resorbable plates and screws. The investigators hypothesized differences in maximum mechanical stress forces and deflection with each plating material; however, it was proposed that the experim...
