Comparing facial surgery plate placements
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are motivated and willing to participate in the research.
- You do not have any serious health condition that would make surgery or anesthesia risky.
- You do not have bone infections or growths in your jaw that could slow healing.

This trial compares using two custom titanium miniplates versus four to fix the upper jaw after surgery to correct jaw and teeth misalignment. The goal is to see which approach provides better stability and healing.
This trial tests personalized surgical guides and implants to help surgeons precisely reposition the upper and lower jaw in patients with facial asymmetry or misalignment. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and final bite alignment.
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.
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 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 whether custom-made surgical plates can more accurately correct a tilted upper jaw (maxillary cant) in people with facial asymmetry. It aims to improve surgical precision and outcomes.
