Ultrasonic vs standard surgery for jaw bone disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques (one using a special ultrasonic tool, the other using conventional instruments) for treating early stages of a jaw bone condition called MRONJ, which can be caused by certain medications. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective, so participants are randomly assigned to one of the two methods.

This study looks at how a specific jaw problem (osteonecrosis) may happen in people taking bone-strengthening medications. It aims to better understand and manage this side effect.
This trial tests whether a special dressing made from your own blood (called L-PRF) can help your jaw heal better after surgery for medication-related bone damage. It's for people who need surgery for this condition and aims to improve recovery.
This study looks at how bone quality changes over time in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a condition where jaw bone fails to heal after certain medications. By comparing repeated CT scans, researchers hope to better understand the condition and improve care.
This study looks at what changes happen in the jawbone in people with osteonecrosis of the jaw (a damaged jawbone area), whether or not they take certain cancer/bone medicines. It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it behaves over time.
This study compares two ways of cutting the jawbone during corrective jaw surgery: one using a special ultrasound device and one using conventional tools. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to treat a jaw bone problem caused by medications (called MRONJ) when it happens around a dental implant. One option is to keep the implant and treat the bone, the other is to remove the implant. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing.
