Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the degree of plate adaptation and effects of locking influenced the mechanical behavior of the plate/screw/substrate system for 2.0-mm monocortical superior border plates and 2.4-mm reconstruction plates secured at the inferior border intended to stabilize simulated mandibular angle fractures.Materials and Methods: A total of 130 polyurethane synthetic mandible replicas (Synbone, Landquart, Switzerland) were used in this investigation. Five controls each, for incisal edge and molar loading, as well as 5 samples each for 2.4-mm locking and nonlocking reconstruction plates and 2.0-mm locking and nonlocking monocortical superior border plates, intimately adapted (0.0-mm offset), 1.0-mm offset and 2.0-mm offset were subjected to loading at the incisal edge and molar region with an Instron 1331 (Instron Corp, Canton, MA) servohydraulic mechanical testing unit. Load/displacement data were recorded, and yield load, yield displacement, and stiffness were determined. Mean and standard deviation values were calculated. Statistically significant differences were determined for the effects of locking and degree of plate adaptation using a 1-way analysis of variance (P
