Measuring the Influence of Maxillary Obturator Prosthesis on Facial Morphology in Patient With Unilateral Maxillary Defects Using Stereophotogrammetry

Plain-language summary
Functional rehabilitation and quality of life after maxillofacial surgery have been emphasized in recent years. It depends mainly on outcomes of maxillofacial reconstruction and rehabilitation involving functions, esthetics, psychology acceptance and resocialization.
Tooth loss, alveolar and maxillary bone resorption or changes of the hard palate cause facial asymmetry in patient with maxillofacial surgery. The facial soft tissue over the defect become recessed as a result of loss of lip and buccal support which lead to decrease the quality of life and psychological disorders. Prosthetic intervention with maxillary obturator prosthesis is necessary to restore the contours of the resected palate and to recreate the functional separation of the oral cavity and sinus and nasal cavities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of maxillary obturator on facial morphology in patient with unilateral maxillary defect by using 3 dimensional digital stereophotogrammetry compared to the intact side of the same patient

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
