Trial summary

Background: Jawline improvement is nowadays a strong patients' demand. Among patients undergoing orthognathic surgery, it remains sometimes a challenge to manage angle definition due to the classic mandibular osteotomy trait which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but can't modify the ramus height.

About this study

Background: Jawline improvement is nowadays a strong patients' demand. Among patients undergoing orthognathic surgery, it remains sometimes a challenge to manage angle definition due to the classic mandibular osteotomy trait which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but can't modify the ramus height. A few types of osteotomies can be used to improve jawline's shape while correcting malocclusion, but they remain technically difficult and often imply the necessity for bone grafting and/or the use of a specific saw and screwdriver. The advent of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques for patient-specific implant (PSI) fabrication has enabled new methods for managing the jawline in orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to assess jawline improvement with patient-specific angle implants in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery with standard osteotomies.Methods: A virtual simulation of a Le Fort I osteotomy (if needed), a sagittal split ramus osteotomy with patient-specific titanium angle implants, and a genioplasty (if needed) was conducted on a preoperative three-dimensional (3D) model of each patient's skull using ProPlan CMF software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Computer-assisted osteotomy saw-and-drill guides and patient-specific implants (PSIs, titanium plates and angle implants) were produced and used during the surgery. The investigators chose to focus on jawline improvement by comparing the preoperative and the post-operative 3D-photographs using the VECTRA H2 3D imagine system (Canfield Scientific, **).

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome of interest was the postoperative aspect and position of the gonial angle

    The primary outcome of interest was the postoperative aspect and position of the gonial angle, assessed by 3D-stereophotogrametry

    Measured: postoperative week 4

  2. Secondary outcome of interest is patients satisfaction

    Scale title = échelle de Likert. Maximum score 5 (= not satisfied) / minimum score 1 (= total satisfaction)

    Measured: From post operative week 1 to one year follow-up

  3. Secondary outcome of interest is number and type of complications

    Secondary outcome of interest is number and type of complications

    Measured: From post operative week 1 to one year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malocclusion, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 2 sites in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 31 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

The primary outcome of interest was the postoperative aspect and position of the gonial angle (time frame: postoperative week 4). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jan 2024.
