Custom jaw implants put to the test: will they improve surgery precision?
NCT ID NCT07222904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how accurately a custom-made implant (called a PSI) could reposition the lower jaw during surgery for overbite or underbite. Eight patients aged 18-40 who needed jaw surgery received the custom implant. The researchers compared the planned jaw position with the actual result using CT scans. The goal was to see if the custom implant leads to more precise alignment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient Specific Implant (PSI) - a custom-made device used to fix the jaw after surgical repositioning
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that custom implants improve the precision of jaw alignment surgery, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer adjustments.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study (8 people) and only measured accuracy, not long-term outcomes or safety. The results may not apply to all patients or surgeons.
