Material and Methods. There were 70 patients with mandibular fractures in combination with chronic generalized periodontitis who underwent immobilization of the mandible in various ways. Clinical examination of common cytokines and Cross laps of the contents of periodontal pockets have been carried out. The results revealed that patients in the orthopedic treatment of the dynamics observed progression of inflammatory-destructive processes. When immobilization of the mandible with intermaxillary fixation on the titanium screws and the surgical method of treating inflammation at periodontal pockets cropped. Conclusion. Considering inflammatory complications of mandibular fractures in patients who have used the intermaxillary fixation screws in titanium, it has been found out that this method is more optimal.
