Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the new intermaxillary fixation wiring technique with eyelet wiring for intermaxillary fixation of jaw fractures based on:
1. Time duration required for application of IMF in minutes measured from the point in time when the first wire placement is started to the finished tucking of IMF wires interdentally

 
Measured at the time of intervention
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Stability of IMF over the treatment span assessed by maintenance/ loosening of IMF wires
2. Incidence of glove perforation assessed by glove inflation by water post intervention
 
Stability of IMF is assessed on a weekly basis post intervention.
Glove perforation is assessed immediately post intervention

Brief Summary  

Introduction

Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is used in the treatment of jaw fractures since times immemorial. It is necessary to orient the jaw bones into satisfactory dental occlusion before fixation of jaw fractures. However the contemporary techniques used for IMF are tedious, time consuming, traumatic for the patient as well as the operator, difficult for oral hygiene maintenance, with inherent risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases and increased  duration of surgical anesthesia. So, this study was designed in which a novel technique of IMF is compared with the contemporary technique for IMF, Ivy eyelet IMF, to evaluate and compare the efficacy and inherent associated  complications.

Aims & Objectives

The aim of the study is to compare the new intermaxillary fixation wiring technique with eyelet wiring for intermaxillary fixation of jaw fractures. The objectives will include comparison based on

1.      Time duration required for application of IMF

2.      Stability of IMF over the treatment span and

3.      Incidence of glove perforation.

Materials & Methods

A sample of 80 subjects from amongst the maxillofacial trauma patients  referred to the OPD/IPD of Dept of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, GDCH Aurangabad fulfilling the specified inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into test and control group and will be blinded off the methodology used. Inter Maxillary Fixation will be done by 2 or more different surgeons with comparable surgical/wiring skills under local anesthesia/GA.  IMF will be placed for 4-6 weeks depending on the facts of the case, with weekly follow-up .

The observations will be made as follows:

1.      The time taken for wiring is from the application of first wire till the completion of IMF and will be noted down in minutes.

2.      Stability of IMF will be assessed by maintenance of IMF wires as otherwise there will be loosening of the IMF wires.

3.      Incidence of Glove perforation will be assessed by inflating the glove post-wiring by water/saline to look for leakages.

4.      Digital OPG will be taken at 4 months and 6 months  to assess the healing of the fracture as evidenced by disappearance/reduction in radiolucency of the fracture line.
