Abstract
We have developed a method of intermaxillary fixation using beads and wires. This method was effective in mandibular fractures that underwent both open and closed reduction. Our procedure is simple, requires little time, and is inexpensive. We also found several advantages of our technique when compared with the classic arch bar, wire, and eyelet method of intermaxillary fixation.
