MARTINEZ-VILLALOBOS CASTILLO, S. et al. Contributions of the 2.0 unilock system to mandibular osteosynthesis. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2004, vol.26, n.5, pp.287-296. ISSN 2173-9161.

The 2.0 Unilock System is the last generation of plates that incorporate the "lock principle" in their conception and design. Developed from 2.4 Unilock System, they contribute major simplicity and comfort in their managing incorporating many of its biomechanics excellences and including all the indications of the conventional miniplates. In this article we review their technical characteristics, their clinical indications as well as our experience in their use for different situations needed of mandibular osteosynthesis.

Keywords : Mandibular osteosynthesis; Locking plates; Unilock system; Mandibular reconstruction plates; Miniplates.
