Comparing two ways to fix certain palate fractures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two techniques for fixing a specific type of broken bone in the roof of the mouth (palate). It aims to see which method better keeps the back teeth properly aligned after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You have a broken palate bone confirmed by a CT scan (a special X-ray).
- Your first molars (the big teeth in the back) are still there and not damaged.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits after treatment.

This study compares two ways of fixing a broken lower jaw (near the back corner) — one goes through the mouth, the other through a small cut inside the cheek. It aims to find which method works best and is safest for patients who have teeth.
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 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 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 a less invasive way to attach custom plates during jaw surgery. It compares fixing the upper jaw with plates on the nasal area only versus plates on both the nasal and cheek areas. The goal is to see which method works better while being gentler on the patient.
This trial compares two ways to fix the upper jaw after surgery: custom-made implants versus standard miniplates. It studies people having orthognathic surgery (jaw repositioning) by a specific surgeon.
