Trial summary

Bicortical screws have been widely used for mandibular osteosynthesis during orthognathic surgery.Transoral placement of bicortical screws is a rigid fixation method in orthognathic surgery, which is less often used. Read more about this study

About this study

Bicortical screws have been widely used for mandibular osteosynthesis during orthognathic surgery.Transoral placement of bicortical screws is a rigid fixation method in orthognathic surgery, which is less often used.

The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcome of transoral versus transbuccal bicortical screw placement during orthognathic surgery.

This study comprises an academic, retrospective, monocentric study in which the charts of orthognathic patients operated between January 2010 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Postoperative complications were registered. Demographic, dental and surgical parameters are examined as potential risk factors for the occurence of postoperative complications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative complications (rate of screw removal and/or infection)

    Measured: within 4 weeks postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The value of demographic, dental and surgical parameters as potential risk factors for the occurence of postoperative complications

    Measured: within 4 weeks postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prognathism and Retrognathia, run by AZ Sint-Jan AV at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative complications (rate of screw removal and/or infection) (time frame: within 4 weeks postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2016.
