The Omnimax MMF System: A Cohort Study for Clinical Evaluation. Preliminary Results of an Ongoing Study

Hybrid maxillomandibular (MMF) systems were recently developed. These systems are composed of an arch bar fixated to the alveolus with screws rather than with circumdental wires. Perceived problems with hybrid MMF systems are the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues and teeth secondary to screw insertion and patient compliance with the length of fixation. Recent studies illustrate the efficacy of these systems.1,2 This study presents preliminary results of an ongoing clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits of the OmniMax system, applied to patients undergoing repair of uncomplicated mandibular fracture(s) through various outcome measures.
