NCT ID NCT07654647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether custom 3D-printed titanium implants can safely and effectively rebuild facial bones in 30 adults with defects from injury, cancer surgery, or birth conditions. Each implant is designed from CT scans to match the patient's unique anatomy. Researchers will track complications, accuracy, and cosmetic results over time.
