Background: Mandible fractures lead to loss of masticatory function and therapeutic goal of any fracture management is to restore original anatomic form and function. For this, maximal bite force could be considered as a major factor for evaluating the success of treatment. The objective was to measure the bite force post-operatively in patients with mandible fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation and close reduction and compared with normal healthy group. Methodology: Normal bite force of control group was calculated bilaterally and compared with patients with mandible fractures treated with open and closed reduction in the region of incisors and molars at 5th,7th and 12th week post-operatively using a customised Gnathodyanamometre . Results: Post-operative bite force in incisor region is significantly reduced (1.86kg) for the first 5-6 weeks and gradually increases (5.42kg) later while in molars, it gradually increases(5.67kg) from 5 weeks and significantly increases after 7 weeks and reaches its maximum range(25.14kg) in a span of 12 weeks. Conclusion: Both modes of treatment are equally popular among the surgeons, having different indications. As seen in the study after three months open reduction and internal fixation shows significantly better results than the closed reduction
