N2 - In this chapter, a mechanical evaluation of the treatment of fracture subcondyle with a splinting, using micro-implants of patients of the Regional Hospital 1° de Octubre (ISSSTE) is reported. Typical orthodontic micro-implants were used, with the purpose of evaluating their performance in the invasive treatments for the subcondyle fractures, in particular in the maxillofacial region. The evaluation of the strength of the micro-implants under effects of axial loads was required, and the minimal number of micro-implants to get enough stability and the control of the constraints and position of the lower jaw was calculated. The experimental testings considered similar micro-implants as the patient used. The experimental results determined its mechanical behavior, taking into account that the actual state of deossification of the patient was not considered for this study.
