Comparing two plates for fixing jaw angle fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw angle. It aims to see which method works better and helps patients heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a recent (not old) fracture of the lower jaw angle.
- The fracture is clean and not infected.
- You need surgery to fix the bone.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (no serious medical conditions).
- The fracture is not caused by a disease (like a tumor).

This study compares two ways to fix a broken jaw (mandibular angle fracture) using metal plates and screws. One method uses a custom 3D-printed guide to help place the screws, while the other is the standard approach. It aims to see which is more accurate and may lead to a better recovery.
This trial compares two different types of metal plates used to fix a broken lower jaw. One plate has a special extension to help align the bone better. The goal is to see which plate works best for a Class III mandibular fracture.
This study tests a new type of small metal plate with an extension to help repair a specific type of lower jaw fracture near the chin, so the bone heals faster and more securely.
This study compares two types of small metal plates used to fix a specific type of jaw fracture (near the joint) during surgery. One plate is made of a special plastic-like material called PEEK, the other is traditional titanium. The goal is to see which works better and causes fewer problems.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs surgery.
This trial compares using two custom titanium miniplates versus four to fix the upper jaw after surgery to correct jaw and teeth misalignment. The goal is to see which approach provides better stability and healing.
