Custom 3D-printed jaw plates aim to improve reconstruction outcomes
NCT ID NCT07320924
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests custom-made 3D-printed metal plates for rebuilding the lower jaw after surgery, injury, or disease. Standard plates often need bending during surgery, which can lead to poor fit and breakage. The custom plates are designed from each patient's own CT scans to fit perfectly. Fourteen adults with jaw defects will receive the plate and be followed for 3 months to check for complications and jaw function.
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 reconstruction plate (custom 3D-printed metal plate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make jaw reconstruction more precise and reduce the risk of plate failure or complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The plate could still loosen, break, or cause infection.
