New treatment option for Mandibular Resection
Official title Patient-specific Reconstruction Plate for Segmental Mandibular Defects
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07320924
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The mandible's horseshoe-shaped anatomy makes the reconstruction of segmental defects a challenging procedure. Conventional reconstruction typically relies on alloplastic plates to bridge bony stumps; however, these require extensive intraoperative bending, often resulting in imperfect adaptation, press-to-contact fixation, and residual stresses that increase the risk of hardware fatigue and fracture.

Who can take part
Adults
You may be able to join if
- Patients with a segmental mandibular continuity defect, not involving the condyle.
- Patients suffering from benign, locally invasive or malignant lesions that involving the lower border of the mandible.
- Patients with recurrent lesions after resection.
- Patients dealing with osteomyelitis or jaw osteonecrosis that is indicated for sequestrectomy.
- Stage-III jaw osteonecrosis.
You likely can't join if
- Medically compromised patients contradict the operation.
- Patients with segmental mandibular defects that require condylar process resection
- Patients with lateral segmental mandibular defects involving the condyle that require reconstruction using an alloplastic total joint.
- Patients with an active infection at the site of resection.
