Rebuilding mouth floor after surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair small to medium-sized tissue defects in the floor of the mouth using a flap from nearby muscle and bone lining. It aims to improve healing and function after removing tumors or other lesions.

This study compares two ways to rebuild a large missing section of your lower jaw using a piece of your own leg bone (called a fibula flap). The goal is to see which method creates better facial symmetry and a more natural result.
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.
This trial studies a new technique to help build up bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) that has become thin. It uses a special membrane and graft material to encourage bone growth, which may help people who need dental implants.
This trial tests a surgical technique (Furlow palatoplasty with a cheek muscle flap) to see if it improves speech development in young children who had a complete cleft lip and palate repaired previously. It may help children between 3 and 5 years old with non-syndromic conditions.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to reposition the upper jaw in adults with certain jaw or facial irregularities, such as an overbite, underbite, or asymmetry. It aims to improve facial balance as an alternative to braces or other non-surgical treatments.
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.
