Custom 3D-Printed jaw implants put to the test against traditional surgery
NCT ID NCT06297109
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two standard ways to fix jaw position after surgery: custom 3D-printed titanium implants (PSIs) versus traditional metal plates that surgeons bend during the operation. Researchers will check how accurately the bones are placed right after surgery and how stable they remain two years later. Sixty patients with overjet or overbite will take part, and the goal is to see if the custom implants lead to more precise and lasting results.
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 implants (PSI) and conventional mini-plates
- What this could lead to
- If PSIs prove more accurate and stable, they could become the preferred method for complex jaw surgeries, improving outcomes and reducing the need for adjustments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (60 people) comparing two already-approved methods, so any advantage may be modest. The results may not apply to all jaw surgery patients.
