Ultrasound versus standard tools for jaw surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of cutting the jawbone during corrective jaw surgery: one using a special ultrasound device and one using conventional tools. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two methods for removing lower wisdom teeth before they are fully grown. It uses a special ultrasound tool (piezoelectric) versus traditional surgical tools to see which is gentler and leads to faster healing.
This study looks at two different ways of doing jaw surgery to see which one gives better stability and healing. If you are already planning to have jaw surgery, this study may help improve how well your jaw stays in place after the procedure.
This study checks whether the “O-bridge protocol” helps people who need jaw surgery—either for osteonecrosis of the jaw or for oral/jaw tumors—followed by dental implant placement to support fixed teeth (not removable dentures). The goal is to improve your ability to eat, speak, and get a stable tooth replacement plan after surgery.
This study compares two surgical techniques (one using a special ultrasonic tool, the other using conventional instruments) for treating early stages of a jaw bone condition called MRONJ, which can be caused by certain medications. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective, so participants are randomly assigned to one of the two methods.
This study tests if a special ultrasound tool (called cavitation) can help your gums heal better after having two teeth pulled. It is for people who need two teeth removed from the same jaw.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
