Registry for jawbone reconstruction after jaw cancer and jaw bone death
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a confirmed jaw (mandible) tumor or tumor spread, such as oral squamous cell cancer, ameloblastoma, osteosarcoma, or oral metastasis (spread from lung, breast, prostate, or kidney)
- You have jaw bone death (osteonecrosis) caused by bisphosphonate drugs or by immune-related medicines
- Your treatment plan includes removing a jaw segment of at least 2 cm and doing reconstruction using your own bone
- You will either be on a comfort-focused (palliative) plan or not, and you must not have had major jaw surgeries that would confuse the results

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 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 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.
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.
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 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.
