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 study tests a set of tools (like splints and exercises) to help people who have had facial injuries or burns improve their ability to move their face, mouth, and jaw. The goal is to help you chew, speak, and express yourself better.
This study tests whether 3D printed splints work as well as standard splints during jaw surgery. Splints help surgeons align your teeth and jaws correctly 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 wearing a custom-made clear plastic dental guard (called an occlusal splint) can help reduce burning mouth pain. If you've found relief from a similar guard before, this could be a way to manage your symptoms.
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.
