3D-Printed jaw fix: a sharper way to heal broken bones?
NCT ID NCT06392204
First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested a new method for repairing broken lower jawbones using a custom 3D-printed guide and plate, designed from a patient's own CT scan. Twenty-four adults with a specific type of jaw fracture were randomly assigned to receive either the new 3D-printed device or standard surgery. The goal was to see if the custom approach could better align the broken bone pieces and restore proper tooth positioning, potentially reducing complications compared to traditional techniques.
