Jaw fracture

This trial tests two types of plates used to fix a specific kind of jaw fracture, called a subcondylar fracture. One plate is made of titanium, the standard metal. The other is made of PEEK, a medical plastic that can be 3D-printed. Researchers will compare how well each plate re…

This study tested custom-made surgical stents and plates for repairing broken jaw bones (mandibular angle fractures). Seven medically fit adults received the personalized implants to guide bone alignment and fixation. The approach aimed to improve surgical accuracy and reduce ope…

This trial compares a new type of titanium bone plate, called a pin buckle plate, with standard miniplates for fixing fractures in the front of the lower jaw. Twenty adults with simple, single fractures will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two plates during surgery. Re…

This trial tests whether using a piezoelectric device (which uses ultrasonic vibrations) to cut bone during Le Fort I osteotomy reduces surgery time and blood loss compared to the conventional method using a mallet and chisel. The study includes 60 adults with old, improperly hea…

This study tested two different thicknesses of 3D titanium plates used to fix broken jawbones (mandibular body fractures). The goal was to see which thickness leads to less pain and fewer complications like infection or bite problems. The trial involved 18 adults aged 20-60 who n…

This study tested two different thicknesses of 3D-printed titanium plates used to fix broken jawbones. 18 adults with jaw fractures received one of the two plate types during surgery. The goal was to see if one thickness led to less pain or fewer complications like infection or b…

This study tested a new type of metal plate for fixing broken jawbones in the front and side areas. The plate is designed to be strong but low-profile, and to avoid damaging a key nerve in the chin. Twenty-two adults with recent jaw fractures were randomly assigned to get either …

This study tested whether custom 3D-printed plastic (PEEK) plates work better than standard titanium plates for fixing fractures at the angle of the jaw. Twenty-two adults with this type of break were treated and followed to see how well their bite and jaw joint healed. The goal …

This study tested a custom 3D-printed guide and plate for repairing broken jaw bones (mandibular angle fractures) in 24 adults. The new method was compared to the standard technique using a single miniplate. The goal was to see if the custom device helps align the broken pieces m…

This study tested whether custom 3D-printed surgical guides and titanium plates can help surgeons fix broken jawbones more accurately. Six adults with jaw fractures received the personalized tools. The goal was to see if this approach leads to better bone alignment and faster sur…

This study compared two surgical methods for fixing a broken front jawbone: using a single locking plate versus two non-locking plates. Twenty patients with displaced jaw fractures were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Researchers measured pain, swelling, healing, and …

This study looked at two ways to treat a rare break in the jaw joint (condylar head fracture): surgery to fix the bone, or non-surgical care with advice and exercises. 14 adults with this injury took part. The goal was to see which approach leads to better chewing and jaw functio…

This study tested a special 3D titanium plate designed to fix fractures of the lower jaw near the joint. Fourteen adults with a single-side jaw fracture received the plate during surgery. Researchers used CT scans and clinical exams to check bone alignment and jaw function over t…

This study tested two methods of making custom metal plates to fix broken jawbones. Sixteen patients with fractures between the chin and lower teeth received plates made either by 3D printing (additive) or by computer-controlled machining (subtractive). Researchers measured the p…

This study tested whether custom-made titanium plates, designed from CT scans and 3D printing, work better than standard lambda plates for fixing broken jaw joints. Twenty-four adults with subcondylar fractures were treated with one of the two plates. Researchers measured surgery…

This study looked at 60 people with a broken lower jaw to see if using one metal plate plus an arch bar works as well as the standard two plates. The goal was to compare infection, numbness, bone alignment, and surgery time. Results help doctors choose the best treatment for jaw …

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 we…

This study tested whether custom-made 3D-printed PEEK (a strong plastic) plates are as good as standard titanium plates for fixing a specific type of jaw fracture. Eighteen adults with a broken jaw angle received one of the two plates during surgery. Researchers measured bone hea…

This study looked at how well Global D implants work for orthognathic (jaw) surgery and whether they improve patients' quality of life. 198 people who had their first jaw surgery received these implants. Researchers measured quality of life before and after surgery using a specia…

This study looked back at the medical records of 150 adults who had surgery for facial fractures using the Stryker Universal CMF System. The goal was to confirm that the system safely and effectively holds broken facial bones in place. Researchers checked whether any patients nee…

This study looked back at medical records of 50 people who had jaw reconstruction surgery using Stryker's custom-made plates. The goal was to confirm the plates are safe and work well by checking how often unplanned follow-up surgeries were needed. The study found that the plates…

This study looked back at 70 patients who had jaw reconstruction surgery using Stryker's custom-made Surgeon iD plates. The goal was to confirm the plates are safe and work well by checking how many patients needed unplanned follow-up surgery. Researchers also tracked infections …

This study tested how accurate 3D-printed surgical guides are for repairing broken jawbones. Twenty-four patients with a single-side jaw fracture received surgery using guides made from two different virtual planning methods. The goal was to see how well the guides helped surgeon…

This study tested whether custom-made titanium plates, designed using 3D technology, help surgeons fix broken jawbones more accurately. Ten adults with a specific type of jaw fracture received these personalized plates. Researchers measured how well the bone pieces lined up after…

This registry study tracked 44 adults with broken jaw bones who were treated using the MatrixWAVE MMF system, a device that helps align the jaw during healing. Researchers recorded how long the device took to apply, any complications, and how patients felt about speaking, eating,…
