Abstract
In mid-face, the zygomatic bone and arch represents the bridge between the maxilla, orbital cavity and temporal bone anterosuperior and posterior, respectively. Zygomatic arch plays a potential relation with the maxilla, petrous part of temporal bone, orbits and the multitude of structures contained within and posterior to it make the temporomandibular joint functionally. Fracture of the zygomatic arch of the bone is potentially disturb the function of the mandibular jaw while opening and closing as well as disfi gure by forming depression on face even in case of undisplaced. In time and reduction of arch fracture provides the best chance to avoid facial deformity, jaw dysfunction and prevents unfavorable sequelae. We conclude that, Gillies approach for undisplaced arch fracture reduction will be considerable due to simple and effective method and cosmetically more acceptable.
