Study on patient satisfaction after jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests how happy patients are with their dental work after having part of the upper jaw removed (hemi-maxillectomy). It also checks how healthy the nearby teeth stay. This could help doctors pick the best way to replace missing teeth in these cases.
