Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws

Description

JOTA system

Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is  a  technique  frequently used  in oral and maxillofacial surgery for mandibular and midface fracture stabilization. IMF screws have shown to be a useful modality to establish maxillomandibular fixation. It is a safe, and time-sparing technique. It is an ideal device for temporary intermaxillary fixation.

Screws are intended to be placed above or between the tooth roots paying special attention to the nerves. The number and position of the IMF screws depend on the fracture type. After placement, a wire is wapped around the screws to stabilize the patients occlusion.
