First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looked at 196 patients who had jaw-lengthening surgery to see if using a calcium phosphate paste leads to more infections or the need to remove surgical hardware. The paste is meant to help keep the jaw stable and prevent the bone from moving back, but it might also increase risks. The goal was to find out if the benefits of using the paste are worth the possible downsides.
