A new plate for fixing broken jawbones
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.

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 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 trial tests a custom-made metal plate designed to replace a missing piece of your lower jaw bone. It may be a good option if you have a gap in your jaw from a tumor, infection, or injury, as long as the joint near your ear is not involved.
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.
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.
