Custom jaw plates for jaw fracture repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 50 years old.
- You must have a recent fracture (within 10 days) in the front part or side of your lower jaw, which needs surgery to fix.
- Your fracture can be on one side or both sides, and can be simple or compound (where the bone breaks through the skin).
- You must be in good overall health, with no other major medical conditions that could affect surgery (classified as ASA class I).
- Your fracture must not be due to disease, be shattered (comminuted), infected, or be in an area where there is no teeth (atrophic edentulous ridge).

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 tests whether using a virtual 3D model to plan and bend metal plates before surgery helps people with complex jaw fractures heal better. It may lead to shorter surgery time and more accurate results.
This trial tests a special plate to fix certain types of broken jawbones. It may help patients who have a recent, clean break that needs 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.
This trial tests a custom-made metal plate designed to replace a missing piece of your lower jaw bone. It may be a good option if you have a gap in your jaw from a tumor, infection, or injury, as long as the joint near your ear is not involved.
This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
