Tested new jaw bone repair to support future dental work
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is studying a method to rebuild part of the lower jaw using a blood-supply bone replacement, so you can later get dental rehabilitation. It’s for adults who need a sizable, tumor-free jaw bone reconstruction and who can safely undergo surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need reconstruction of your lower jaw to support future dental treatment
- Your lower-jaw bone defect is at least 6 cm in its largest size (marginal or segmental)
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your lower-jaw defect has been confirmed with scans and tissue testing as tumor-free
- You do not have uncontrolled long-term illnesses like diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, collagen diseases, or severe lung disease

This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix a severe underbite caused by a small lower jaw. One method uses a special cut in the jawbone and a piece of hip bone to lengthen it, while the other uses a different jawbone cut to move the jaw forward. It will help find which approach works better for people with this condition.
This trial is testing a bone plate used to rebuild the lower jaw after removing a non-cancerous growth. It may help patients who need surgery to remove a benign lesion from the center of their jawbone.
This trial tests a custom-made metal plate designed to replace a missing piece of your lower jaw bone. It may be a good option if you have a gap in your jaw from a tumor, infection, or injury, as long as the joint near your ear is not involved.
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the jawbone so there's enough space for a tooth implant. One method uses a mix of man-made bone and donated bone, the other uses man-made bone and your own bone chips. It might help you if you need more bone for an implant in your upper jaw.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow jawbone so a dental implant can be placed. It compares using a bone graft material alone versus mixing it with a special protein (RGD) to help the bone grow better.
This trial tests a method to rebuild thin jawbones so they can support dental implants. It is for people who have lost a tooth and have had a previous implant or bone graft that didn't work.
