NCT ID NCT02918344
First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looked at 196 people who had jaw-lengthening surgery to fix jaw problems. Researchers wanted to see if using a special bone paste (calcium phosphate) caused more infections or the need to remove metal plates. They also checked if the paste's benefits—like better stability and preventing the jaw from shifting back—were worth any extra risks.
