By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study tests a custom 3D-printed plastic splint to fix broken jaws in children aged 6 to 12. The splint is designed from a child's own teeth to hold the jaw in place without surgery. Ten children will be treated, and doctors will check how well their bite heals and if pain and mouth opening improve.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
3D-printed acrylic occlusal cap splint
What this could lead to
If successful, this 3D-printed splint could offer a faster, more accurate way to treat children's jaw fractures without open surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 children, so results may not apply to all cases. The splint may not fit perfectly or could cause discomfort.
