Magnesium plates and screws for jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of plate and screw made from a special magnesium material that slowly dissolves in the body. It is used to fix jawbones during surgery, and because the material dissolves, you may not need a second surgery to remove the hardware.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You need jaw surgery (like for a broken jaw, bone graft, or other jaw repair).
- Your jawbone is healthy enough to hold the magnesium plates and screws.
- You do not have serious health problems (like uncontrolled diabetes, severe heart/kidney disease, or active infection).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to follow the study plan and come for follow-up visits.

This trial tests new magnesium pins to hold a membrane in place during a dental bone graft procedure. It may help people who don't have enough bone in their upper jaw for dental implants.
This trial tests biodegradable magnesium screws for fixing unstable ankle fractures. These screws naturally dissolve over time, so you wouldn't need a second surgery for hardware removal.
This trial tests if taking magnesium along with a special palate-widening procedure helps young adults with narrow upper jaws. It aims to improve the width of the upper jaw so teeth fit better.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed metal implant made of a special magnesium alloy that dissolves over time. It is designed to help mend broken bones near joints, such as wrist, shoulder, or knee fractures, where there is a missing piece of bone.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This study looks at how well a magnesium-based bone filler (Mg OSTEOCRETE) works for people who need it after bone tumor removal, to fix loose implants, or to help heal bone from injuries. Researchers want to track outcomes to see how helpful it is.
