Background: To compare and evaluate arch bar with ivy eyelet for inter-maxillary fixation. Materials & Methods: A total of 20 subjects were enrolled. The subjects were divided into two groups with 10 in each group. In Group 1 cases arch bar was placed and in group 2, ivy eyelet wiring was done. The p- value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 20 subjects were enrolled. The patient acceptance was good in 7 cases of arch bar and 3 cases of ivy eyelet wiring. In the majority of cases within both groups, the postoperative occlusion was deemed satisfactory. Conclusion: Both Ivy eyelets and arch bars demonstrate equivalent efficacy for intermaxillary fixation, with no statistically significant difference observed between the two methods. |
