Mouth Floor Reconstruction Using Muscle and Bone Flap
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique that uses a flap of muscle and bone to repair small-to-medium defects in the floor of your mouth (the tissue under your tongue). The goal is to restore function and appearance after surgery or injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a small or medium-sized defect in the floor of your mouth that requires surgical repair
- You have not had previous neck dissection surgery (surgery to remove lymph nodes from your neck)
- You have not received radiation therapy to your face, jaw, or mouth area
- You do not have uncontrolled medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe

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 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 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 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 new surgical flap (using tissue from the scalp) to repair defects in the mouth after cancer surgery. It may be an option for patients with certain jawbone defects that haven't been operated on before in a specific area.
This trial tests a surgical technique using tissue from the face to help rebuild bone in the upper jaw (alveolar ridge) of patients with cleft palate who are also receiving orthodontic (braces) treatment. The goal is to improve bone volume and support for teeth.
