Jaw surgery study: Impacted wisdom teeth and bone healing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how jaw surgery (a procedure to fix the shape of your jaw) affects the healing of bone when you have impacted wisdom teeth (teeth that are stuck under the gum). It may help understand if keeping those wisdom teeth during surgery changes the way the bone heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for jaw surgery (BSSO or bimaxillary surgery) to correct a facial deformity

- You are between 18 and 75 years old
