Fewer plates, same precision? new trial tests 3D titanium miniplates in jaw surgery

NCT ID NCT07418684

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using two customized 3D titanium miniplates is as accurate as using four for transferring a virtual surgical plan to the actual jaw surgery. Ten patients with jaw misalignment will be randomly assigned to receive either two or four plates. The main goal is to see how well the plan matches the real outcome, with patient satisfaction also measured.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

customized 3D titanium miniplates

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using fewer plates is just as accurate, potentially simplifying surgery and reducing hardware use.

What could go wrong

This is a very small trial (10 participants) and only measures accuracy, not long-term outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients.
