Comparing fixation methods in jaw surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had surgery performed by Dr. Savoldelli
- Having patient-specific (custom) orthognathic surgery
- Digital planning for the surgery is available
- No previous facial injury or trauma
- No facial cleft condition

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
This study compares two ways of positioning your jaw during surgery to correct jaw alignment. The goal is to see if using a custom-made guide based on your own CT scans leads to better results than the standard method.
This trial tests whether using a handheld 3D scanner is as accurate as a standard optical scanner for predicting soft tissue changes after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to find a more convenient and accessible way to plan surgery for patients with an underbite.
