New jaw fixation device tracked in global registry
NCT ID NCT03405389
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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, and kissing afterward. The goal was to gather real-world data on the system's performance, not to test a new treatment.
