Chin surgery showdown: 3D printed vs milled plates – which fits better?
NCT ID NCT07344441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare the accuracy of 3D printed titanium plates versus 3D milled titanium plates used in chin surgery (genioplasty). Twenty-six patients needing jaw realignment surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one type of plate. The goal is to see which manufacturing method produces a more precise fit, measured by comparing virtual surgical plans with actual post-surgery CT scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
3D printed patient specific titanium plates (compared to 3D milled patient specific titanium plates)
What this could lead to
If 3D printed plates prove more accurate, they could become the preferred option for chin surgery, leading to better fit and fewer adjustments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study focuses on manufacturing accuracy, not long-term patient outcomes.
