ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to plan surgeries for patients with certain benign tumors in the jawbone, specifically in the lower jaw (mandible). The goal is to see if using advanced technology, like 3D models and virtual planning, can lead to better surgical results compared to traditional methods. The researchers believe that this innovative approach could improve the accuracy of surgeries, enhance recovery, and ultimately provide a better quality of life for patients.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be in good overall health and need surgery to remove a portion of their lower jaw. They must also be able to undergo anesthesia and agree to take part in the study. Those with certain conditions, such as infections in the jaw or a history of significant trauma in the area, will not be included. Participants can expect to be part of a study that compares two groups: one using the new virtual planning techniques and the other using standard surgical methods. If successful, this research could change how jaw surgeries are performed, making them safer and more effective for patients.
