What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether 3D-printed dentures work as well as conventionally made ones for people who have lost all their teeth. Each participant will wear both types of dentures for a set period, and researchers will measure how accurately each fits, how much force they can bite with, and how comfortable they feel. The goal is to see if digital manufacturing can offer a faster and more precise alternative to the traditional, multi-step process.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
3D-printed complete dentures
What this could lead to
If 3D-printed dentures match or beat conventional ones, they could offer a faster, more comfortable, and more accurate option for people who need full dentures.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. 3D-printed dentures might not fit as well or last as long as traditional ones, and the trial does not yet prove long-term benefits.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must be 20 years of age or older. * Participants must be completely edentulous in both the maxilla and mandible, with at least three months having elapsed since the most recent tooth extraction. * Participants must have sufficient cognitive ability to understand the study procedures and be able to read and complete the study questionnaires. * Participants must voluntarily agree to participate in all study procedures after receiving and understanding the study information. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who are unable to read or complete the study questionnaires. * Individuals with temporomandibular disorders that impair normal mouth opening and closing or prevent them from performing movements according to the investigators' instructions. * Individuals with maxillary or mandibular defects resulting from congenital conditions or surgical procedures. * Individuals whose physical or psychological health is considered unsuitable for study participation, as determined by the investigator or primary contact.
