ABSTRACT={Orthodontic prostheses can be used to replace teeth (dental implants, bridges, crowns …) or reconstruct teeth (retraction …) or fractures (fixation systems ...). In this work, we are interested in fixation systems especially the fixation of mandible fractures using mini-plates. A numerical simulation of a fractured mandible is carried out in order to identify the failure mode (or scenario). Next a reliability analysis is carried out in order to evaluate the stabilization of the fixation systems
for the mandible fractures.}}
