Abstract
Transbuccal trocar has been an established method of fixation for the bone plate in the case of mandibular angle fracture. Other than extraoral approaches, this transbuccal approach has many advantages in the treatment of the fracture of mandibular angle. These advantages are as follows ; (1) Damage to the facial nerve branches is minimal. (2) Less postoperative scar is formed. (3) Good vision of occlusion can be easily obtained on the entire operation. (4) Shorter operation time is needed. But, in the clinical procedure of plate fixation, it is has a difficulty in manipulation of the plate and correction of position. To solve these problems, we designed and used a trocar tip which can be easily attached to the trocar, and could make an improvement in the clinical procedures.
