Abstract: 

Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) is a basic and fundamental principle in the treatment of maxillofacial trauma. MMF serves as a cornerstone of maxillofacial reconstruction, providing a stable base from which facial form and function can be restored. It attempts to re-establish the patient’s premorbid occlusion assisting in the reduction and fixation of simple and complex facial fractures.
