3D-printed vs. milled plates for jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of titanium plates (3D-printed vs. traditionally milled) used to hold the upper jaw in place after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to see which type is more accurate and reduces surgery time, which could mean a faster recovery for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a jaw alignment issue (overbite, underbite, or crossbite) that needs surgery
- You do not have active jaw joint pain or problems
- You have good oral hygiene and no gum disease
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and come for follow-up visits

This study tests whether 3D printed splints work as well as standard splints during jaw surgery. Splints help surgeons align your teeth and jaws correctly during the operation.
This trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
This study looks at how the way the upper jaw is positioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the joint's healing over time. It may help people with a specific type of underbite who are already planning to have both upper and lower jaw surgery.
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 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.
This trial tests two types of custom-made plates used to fix broken jawbones. One is titanium (a strong metal) and the other is PEEK (a medical plastic). Both are shaped to fit your jaw. The goal is to help the bone heal properly after surgery.
