The Effect of Splint Usage in Laterognathic Cl III Orthognathic Surgery Patients

A study testing Oclusal Splint in people with Skeletal Malocclusion and Class III Malocclusion, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condylar positions during orthognathic surgery. Condylar positions are affected directly under general anesthesia because of joint and muscle relaxation. Possible unwanted changes in the joint position may cause incorrect positioning of the jawbones. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Splint Usage in Laterognathic Cl III Orthognathic Surgery Patients: Controlled Clinical Trial

It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condylar positions during orthognathic surgery. Condylar positions are affected directly under general anesthesia because of joint and muscle relaxation. Possible unwanted changes in the joint position may cause incorrect positioning of the jawbones. This could affect the success of the surgery in terms of function and facial aesthetics causing the need for a second surgery. Our aim is to evaluate whether the use of MR Splint has a statistically significant effect on muscle relaxation-induced condyle position deviations under general anesthesia in Class III Laterognathia patients.

Read the detailed description

It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condyle positions during orthognathic surgery to prevent iatrogenic temporomandibular joint complications. Condyle shunts are affected directly under general anesthesia because of the joint and muscle relaxation. Surgical guidance appliances are prepared according to the TMJ records taken chairside while patients are in an upright position. During surgery, these appliances are applied in a supine position while the muscles are relaxed. Postoperative and long-term effects of TMJ and muscle relaxation obtained under general anesthesia in class III and asymmetric patients will be examined. Patients who had occlusal splint before records taken will be evaluated in terms of condyle location by MPI.

Our aim is to evaluate whether the use of MR Splint has a statistically significant effect on muscle relaxation-induced condyle position deviations under general anesthesia in Class III Laterognathia patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. MPI Records for Splint Users

    Difference between preoperative and intraoperative condylar positions will be observed as mm with bite records. MPI will be used in the lab to determine the difference.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oclusal Splint in people with Skeletal Malocclusion and Class III Malocclusion, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Kılıç (+905322432756, bkilic@bezmialem.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MPI Records for Splint Users (time frame: 12 months). 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 3 Feb 2022.
