Objective:To summarize adverse reactions and clinical effects of bioabsorbable miniplates in the treatment of maxillofacial fractures. Methods:Clinical data of 43 patients with maxillofacial fracture using biodegradable materials to do rigid internal fixation were reviewed and analyzed. All patients were followed for 3 months to 2 years. Results:Totally 41 patients received good recovery after treatment,with good occlusal relationship. One case of aseptic effusion was observed;the wound was healed after 3 weeks of irri-gating and dressing. Absorbable plate exposure was observed in one case;mucosa tissue was healed after several times of grinding exposed absorbable plate. Conclusion:Bioabsorbable plate is the ideal material in the treatment of maxillofacial fractures.
