Comparing two surgical methods for fixing a broken jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need a break in the front part of your lower jaw that can be fixed with surgery.
- You should still have some or all of your natural teeth (not completely toothless).
- You must be healthy enough for surgery (no severe heart, lung, or other medical conditions).
- Your fracture should be a simple break, not shattered into many pieces.

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.
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 severe broken jaw: using custom-made 3D guides versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and recovery.
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 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.
