| Abstract: | This study was undertaken to compare the influence of rigid with semirigid fixation after experimental mandibular fractures in monkeys. Although semirigid fixation resulted in more external callus formation after six weeks, rigid formation produced a denser and stronger bone scar. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to orthognathic surgical treatment planning. |
