Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the application value of intermaxillary fixation screw in the conservative treatment of condylar intracapsular fracture. Methods: Eighteen cases of condylar intracapsular fracture of mandible have been treated with intermaxillary fixation screw from Oct 2008 to Mar 2011. The symmetry of facial contour, width of mouth opening, occlusion relationship, and fracture healing were evaluated by clinical and radiographic examinations in the follow-up period. Results: Satisfactory facial appearance and normal occlusion relation were achieved in all the cases. The average width of mouth opening was 35 mm. The panoramic radiograph showed the healing of fracture fragment with remodeling. Conclusion: Intermaxillary fixation screw is a safe and effective treatment for the condylar intracapsular fracture.
