New 3D plate could improve jaw fracture repair
NCT ID NCT07311239
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a special 3D titanium plate designed to fix fractures of the lower jaw near the joint. Fourteen adults with a single-side jaw fracture received the plate during surgery. Researchers used CT scans and clinical exams to check bone alignment and jaw function over three months. The goal was to see if this plate provides stable fixation and good recovery.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- 3D delta plate (titanium implant)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this plate could offer a reliable way to repair certain jaw fractures, helping patients regain normal jaw movement and reducing pain.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study with only 14 people and no comparison group. Results may not apply to all fracture types or patients. Long-term outcomes beyond 3 months are unknown.
