About this trial

The purpose of this study is to reduce uncertainity around decision making regarding use of transmucosal miniplate stabilization technique in place of intra-arch wire stabilization technique to get better outcomes. It will help establish future guidelines for sagittal and para-sagittal types of palatal fracture treatment Under general anasthesia wires will be passed between molars of both sides for palatal fracture reduction or fracture will be reduced by applying plate at fracture site
