What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a new custom-designed omega-shaped bone plate against standard metal plates for fixing broken jaws in the chin area. Twelve adults with such fractures were split into two groups, one receiving the custom plate and the other the standard one. The custom plates were made using virtual surgery planning and 3D printing. Researchers checked healing, pain, swelling, and nerve function over six months to see if the new plate works better.
