Abstract

Inter Maxillary Fixation (IMF) is a standard component of the treatment of mandibular fractures. Number of IMF techniques has been described in the literature till date such as Erich arch bars, Ernst ligatures, Ivy loops, and Gilmer wiring. Arch bars are considered as the gold standard for IMF. Bone supported arch bars uses titanium arch bars fitted with eyelets for self-drilling screw fixation into the maxilla and mandible. A narrative review was conducted to provide concise and current evidence about the efficacy of bone supported arch bars.

Keywords:IMF; Bone Supported; Arch Bars; Maxilla
