Comparing two ways to fix a broken front jaw bone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of fixing a broken front part of the lower jaw (mandible) using surgery: one uses small plates and screws, the other uses special screws without plates. The goal is to see which method keeps the jaw joint in a better position after healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a recent break in the front part of your lower jaw (not the sides or back).
- The break is a single, clean break (not shattered into many pieces).
- You have some or all of your natural teeth (not completely toothless).
- You are healthy enough to have surgery with general anesthesia.

This study compares two ways to fix a broken lower jaw using surgery: special screws called Herbert screws or small metal plates (3D miniplates). The goal is to see which method helps the bone heal better.
This trial compares two ways surgeons can fix a broken lower jaw bone (mandible) at the angle, which is the curve near the back of the jaw. One method works through the mouth, and the other works through a small cut inside the cheek. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This study compares three ways to fix a broken jaw: using metal arch bars, small screws (IMF screws), or a hybrid of both. The goal is to see which method offers the best stability, comfort, and healing for patients with minimally displaced jaw fractures.
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 study compares two different ways to hold a broken lower jaw (mandible) in place while it heals. One way uses a small plate with a special extension, and the other uses two standard plates. It may help people with this type of fracture heal better with less 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.
