Registry of jaw reconstruction for cancer patients who need implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is a “real-world” registry that follows people with jaw problems related to cancer or cancer treatment. It looks at how well jaw reconstruction with dental implants and fixed teeth works when removable dentures are not suitable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a jaw problem related to cancer or cancer treatment (like ORN or MRONJ), or you have oral cavity/jaw cancer that needs jaw removal
- Your clinician plans jaw reconstruction with possible dental implants (for fixed teeth), either immediately or after a delay
- Your case is not a good fit for standard removable dentures or removable prosthetics
- You may be of any age and any gender
- You do not have jaw osteonecrosis that is not caused by cancer or cancer treatment

This study looks at how well people can chew, eat, and speak after having jaw or face reconstruction due to cancer. It aims to understand how these functions affect your daily life and happiness.
This study uses special MRI scans with contrast to better detect osteoradionecrosis (jaw bone injury) after radiation for head and neck cancer. If you qualify, the scans may help your team diagnose problems earlier and choose the right next treatment.
This trial uses repeated MRI scans to better predict which patients may develop painful jaw and mouth tissue problems after radiation and/or certain bone or blood-vessel medicines. It may help clinicians spot problems earlier and tailor follow-up care.
This study checks whether the “O-bridge protocol” helps people who need jaw surgery—either for osteonecrosis of the jaw or for oral/jaw tumors—followed by dental implant placement to support fixed teeth (not removable dentures). The goal is to improve your ability to eat, speak, and get a stable tooth replacement plan after surgery.
This trial studies current standard care for people who need jawbone reconstruction after cancer surgery. It aims to document the costs and outcomes of using a piece of bone from another part of the body (a free bone flap) to rebuild the face.
This study collects real-world information from people undergoing jaw reconstruction after their jaw bone was damaged (from cancer and certain medicines). It may help improve future treatment planning by tracking surgical choices and outcomes.
