Fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex are am-ong the most common face traumas. Based upon the complexity and great variety of reported diagnoses and treatments, the proposal of this study was to eva-luate, clinically and radiographically, unilateral zy-gomatic fractures treated through internal rigid fixa-tion with miniplates and screws of 1.5 mm. Material and Method: 15 patients with unilateral fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex were analyzed, and compared with 15 patients without fractures so that a comparative analysis of the area and the perimeter of the orbital cavities could be made, as well as the dis-tance from the nasal point to the zygomatic promi-nence between both groups. Results: In the radiogra-phic analysis, the both groups presented similarity in the perimeter and in the area of the orbital cavities. Concerning the distance from the nasal point to the zygomatic prominence, only the operated group show-ed a significant difference between the sides, even though clinically the observation of the asymmetry had been absent or discreet. Conclusions: The treat-ment of unilateral fractures of the zygomaticomaxil-lary complex with the use of plates and screws of the 1.5 mm system proved to be effective, showing good esthetic results and low complication rates.
