Methods: Sixty patients with facial comminuted fractures admitted for treatment between July 2023 and December 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, 30 patients were assigned to the observation group, where moderate traction using a dental arch splint combined with rigid internal fixation was applied. Another 30 patients were assigned to the control group and only received dental arch splint traction treatment. The total effective rate, postoperative recovery indicators, periodontal status, complication rate, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The postoperative recovery indicators and periodontal status in the observation group were superior to those in the control group. The complication rate and quality of life score were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with P < 0.05. Conclusion: Combining dental arch splint intermaxillary traction with rigid internal fixation can improve the periodontal status and quality of life of patients with facial comminuted fractures, shorten postoperative recovery time, reduce various complications, and enhance surgical efficacy.展开更多
