Fixing broken jaws with different wiring techniques
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares three ways to fix a broken jaw: using metal arch bars, small screws (IMF screws), or a hybrid of both. The goal is to see which method offers the best stability, comfort, and healing for patients with minimally displaced jaw fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a broken jaw (mandible) that is not severely displaced and can be treated with jaw wiring (maxillomandibular fixation).
- You have enough natural teeth (or well-fitted dentures) to help align your bite.
- You do not have any serious medical conditions (like diabetes, heart disease, or immune disorders).
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have any mental health conditions that could interfere with treatment.

This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
This study looks at how the jaw bone heals after surgery to correct bite problems, comparing people who have their lower wisdom teeth still under the gum versus those who don't. It aims to see if keeping or removing those teeth affects the fracture pattern of the jaw during surgery.
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 two ways to fix a broken lower jaw angle: using a standard metal plate (Champy plate) versus a custom-made plate guided by computer imaging. The goal is to see which approach restores jaw function best with fewer complications.
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.
This study compares two methods surgeons use to plan surgery for fixing a cheekbone fracture: one uses a special 3D computer plan, and the other uses a more traditional X-ray approach. It aims to find which technique helps the bones heal in a better shape.
