Abstract: Background: Throughout history, humans have grappled with painful injuries, prompting a relentless quest for effective treatments. The origins of early attempts at self-healing, such as the first instances of adjusting fractures or dislocations, remain uncertain. It is conceivable that in the early Stone Age, fractured limbs were supported by splints crafted from wood or bamboo, embedded in clay and allowed to harden. In our modern age of increased motorization, industrialization, and technological advancements, the management of maxillofacial injuries has assumed a significant role. The prevalence of road traffic accidents, on the rise in today's world, has notably contributed to the surge in maxillofacial injuries. The head, being the most exposed part of the body, bears the brunt of injuries, constituting the highest percentage among all body regions. Other contributors to maxillofacial injuries include interpersonal violence, falls, sporting mishaps, and industrial trauma. Neglect or inadequate treatment of fractures can lead to enduring consequences, encompassing functional, aesthetic, neurological, and psychological impairments. [1] Materials and methods: The research was conducted with the approval of the institutional ethical committee, spanning a two-year period during which a thorough evaluation was performed on a cohort of 20 subjects. Results: The utilization of 3D titanium locking plates presents a viable alternative to conventional miniplates due to their enhanced stability resulting from a sophisticated screw locking mechanism, thereby providing superior stability.
