Custom Plate for Lower Jaw Bone Defects
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a missing section of bone in your lower jaw, but not near the joint where your jaw connects to your skull.
- The missing bone may be due to a growth (benign or cancerous), an infection, a previous surgery, or an injury.
- You are well enough for surgery and do not have a serious medical condition that makes surgery too risky.
- You do not have an active infection at the site where the surgery would be done.

This study collects real-world information from people undergoing jaw reconstruction after their jaw bone was damaged (from cancer and certain medicines). It may help improve future treatment planning by tracking surgical choices and outcomes.
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 is testing a bone plate used to rebuild the lower jaw after removing a non-cancerous growth. It may help patients who need surgery to remove a benign lesion from the center of their jawbone.
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 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 is studying a method to rebuild part of the lower jaw using a blood-supply bone replacement, so you can later get dental rehabilitation. It’s for adults who need a sizable, tumor-free jaw bone reconstruction and who can safely undergo surgery.
