Custom guides vs standard method for severe jaw fracture repair
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to fix a severe broken jaw: using custom-made 3D guides versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and recovery.

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 tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
This study compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw using surgery: special screws called Herbert screws or small metal plates (3D miniplates). The goal is to see which method helps the bone heal better.
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 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 compares two methods of fixing a broken front part of the lower jaw (mandible) using surgery: one uses small plates and screws, the other uses special screws without plates. The goal is to see which method keeps the jaw joint in a better position after healing.
