Abstract
Development of osteosynthesis materials has contributed to the advancement of thetreatment of mandibular fractures and reconstruction of the mandible. Titanium, that is composed of pure titanium, has excellent biocompatibility which can be kept in a tissue for a long time. Now, this plate is replacing the instead of stainless steel plate, such as Chamy plate. The use of titanium plate fixation at mandibule reconstruction was reviewed in a series of 19 patients with fracture. It is possible that titanium plate may almost comeletely replace conventional treatment.
