3D-printed splint for burn scars on mouth
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a custom 3D-printed mouth splint to help people who have a tight, small mouth opening after a burn. It aims to see if the splint can improve how wide you can open your mouth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a narrowed mouth opening (microstomia) because of a burn injury.
- You are between 2 and 99 years old.
- You or a caregiver can do mouth exercises daily at home.
- You can attend follow-up appointments.
- You do not have other jaw problems (like TMJ disorder) that affect your mouth opening.

This study tests a custom-made mouth brace created from a 3D scan of your mouth. The brace may help stretch and improve the opening of a tight mouth caused by burn scars, making daily activities like eating and speaking easier.
This trial tests using 3D printed bite splints during jaw surgery to see if they work as well as standard ones. The splint helps keep the teeth aligned during the operation.
This study tests a custom 3D-printed bite splint to help heal straightforward jaw fractures in children aged 6–12. Instead of surgery, the splint guides the broken pieces back together while your child heals naturally.
This study tests whether a custom 3D-printed mouthpiece can protect the mouth from radiation side effects in children receiving radiation therapy for medulloblastoma brain tumors.
This trial tests a custom mouthguard (Essix appliance) to see if it can relieve burning mouth pain. It's for people who already know the mouthguard helps, based on your experience from a previous study.
This study tests whether new 3D-printed shape-memory aligners can effectively fix a mild-to-moderate open bite (when front teeth don't touch when you bite down). It may be a good option if you are between 18 and 35, generally healthy, and have a mild open bite with fairly straight teeth.
