Clinical Trial: Clinical and Radiographical Assessment of Patients With Sub-condylar Fracture Using Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Trapezoidal Plates Versus Titanium Trapezoidal Plates

U.S., April 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06940115) titled 'Clinical and Radiographical Assessment of Patients With Sub-condylar Fracture Using Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Trapezoidal Plates Versus Titanium Trapezoidal Plates' on April 08.

Brief Summary: Some of titanium's drawbacks that is commonly used in maxillofacial surgery included scatter artefacts on regular imaging, implant exposure and inflammation, high thermal conductivity, and high elastic modulus. Very few clinical studies have been published on using a PEEK plate in the mandibular fractures and to the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study that will be done comparing trapezoidal condylar 3D printed PEEK plate...
