Safety-zone Approach and Facial Nerve Preservation in Transbuccal-accessed Fixation of Mandibular Fractures
Sponsor: Delta University for Science and Technology
Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a safety-zone that is anatomically landmarked on the face of patients with mandibular fractures that are approached transbuccally (through cheek) on postoperative intactness of facial nerve.
