Two ways to fix a break in the roof of the mouth
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix a break in the roof of the mouth (palate) using small plates or wires. It aims to find which method keeps the teeth aligned better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways surgeons can fix a broken lower jaw bone (mandible) at the angle, which is the curve near the back of the jaw. One method works through the mouth, and the other works through a small cut inside the cheek. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial compares two types of small metal plates used in surgery to fix a broken lower jaw near the chin. The goal is to see which plate holds the bone better and helps you heal.
This study compares two different ways to hold a broken lower jaw (mandible) in place while it heals. One way uses a small plate with a special extension, and the other uses two standard plates. It may help people with this type of fracture heal better with less surgery.
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 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.
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.
