Custom-made Titanium Plates vs Custom-made PEEK Plates for mandible fractures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two custom fixation materials—titanium and PEEK—for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures. Eligible participants are adults aged 18–50 with recent, displaced unilateral or bilateral fractures requiring internal fixation and with ASA I health status. The trial aims to determine how plate material influences stability, healing, and function, using standard surgical procedures and follow-up assessments. It is conducted at Mansoura University in Egypt, led by the university’s dental faculty. Outcomes will inform whether material choice affects clinical outcomes, imaging compatibility, and patient recovery after mandibular fracture repair.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients age ranging from 18 to 50 years.
* Unilateral and/or bilateral simple or compound fractures of the mandibular symphysis, parasymphysis or body regions that are displaced and require open reduction with internal fixation.
* The fractures must be recent, having occurred no longer than 10 days prior to the surgical treatment.
* Healthy patients who are classified according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification as class I.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients suffer from pathological fractures.
* Comminuted and infected fractures.
* Fracture of the atrophic edentulous ridge
