Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  3- Dimensional(3-D) Miniplate  3-D miniplates are the the type of miniplates which have an interconnecting rod in between the conventional miniplates which provide the 3 dimensional stability. This 3- dimensional miniplate will be used for fixation in interforaminal mandibular fractures. 
Comparator Agent  Conventional 4 hole with gap double miniplates   The conventional system of miniplates include two 4 hole with gap miniplates and are fixed according to Champy’s principles. This conventional 4 hole with gap double miniplates Will be used for fixation in interforaminal mandibular fractures. 
Intervention  Double - Y shaped miniplate   Double-y shaped miniplates are the newer type of miniplates which have y shaped ends on either sides of the plate. This double -y shaped miniplate will be used for fixation in interforaminal mandibular fractures.

1. To determine the best available plating option among the most commonly used systems of plating in the interforaminal region.  Post op day 1, post op day 7 and 1 month post operatively.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To determine which plating system takes the least operative time.  Intraoperatively 
To determine the plating system that best controls lingual splaying postoperatively.  Post op day 1, post op day 7 and 1 month post operatively 
To determine the plating system that provides best post-operative results.  Post op day 1, post op day 7 and 1 month post operatively.  
To establish a reference for the surgeon to determine the plating system based on the case.  Post op day 1, post op day 7 and 1 month post operatively.

Brief Summary   Despite the promising Bio mechanical advantages of three-dimensional painting system and double Y plating system, their remains paucity in the clinical data comparing these novel designs with conventional mini plates in the management of Mandibular fractures, while several studies have explored  the bio mechanical properties and in vitro performance of these systems. Robust clinical trials that comprehensively assess outcomes such as fracture, stability, occlusal  restoration, post-operative pain, infection rates, and recovery of bite force are limited. Such comparative analysis are essential as the optimal fixation technique not only influences the immediate surgical outcome but also affects long-term functional recovery and patient satisfaction along with providing a reference to the surgeon to determine the best plating system based on the type of fracture. The presence study is designed to address this critical gap and literature by assessing the best fixation technique Among double -y And three dimensional mini plates versus conventional methods for the most common mandibular fractures.
Study design: in vivo study.
Study population: study will be performed on patients reporting to the institution for seeking treatment for interforaminal mandibular fractures. The patients will be prospectively randomised into three groups as follows.
Group 1-ORIF with double Y shaped mini plate
Group 2-ORIF with three dimensional mini plate
Group 3-ORIF with conventional double mini plates.

Evaluation parameters:
Pre-operatively,
Clinical parameters-
Segmental mobility, occlusion, teeth in the line of fracture
Radiological parameters-
Displacement of fracture

Intra operatively,
Clinical parameters-
Plate handling time, ease of plate, adaptation and positioning of plates, adequacy of fracture reduction.

Post operatively,
Clinical parameters-
Fracture stability, occlusion discrepancy, neuro sensory deficit, severity of pain, condition of teeth in the line of fracture.
Radiological parameters-
Adequacy of reduction, lingual splaying.
Other outcomes determined-
Wound dehiscence, fracture of plate, screws loosening, Infections, non union or malunion.
