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 This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a small piece of the patient's own bone (autogenous bone graft) helps a dental implant placed right after a tooth extraction heal better in the lower premolar area. Twenty adults needing a lower premolar pulled will get an immediate implant, with or without the graft, using a precise surgical tool called piezosurgery. Researchers will check implant stability, bone levels, and gum health over time to see which approach works best.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
autogenous bone graft harvested via piezosurgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding a bone graft improves implant stability and long-term success for immediate implants in the lower premolar area.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Bone grafting also carries risks like infection or graft failure.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 20 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2025

Expected to finish

Nov 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients requiring extraction of mandibular premolars. * Age ≥ 25 years. * Adequate oral hygiene and motivated patients for implant treatment. * Sufficient bone volume to allow immediate implant placement (with or without minor augmentation). * Patients willing to participate and attend follow-up visits for at least 6 months. * Systemically healthy patients (ASA I or II). Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, immunocompromised patients). * Heavy smokers (e.g., \>10-15 cigarettes/day). * Active periodontal or acute infection at the implant site. * Poor oral hygiene or non-compliant patients. * Pregnancy or lactation. * History of radiotherapy in head and neck region. * Severe bone deficiency not suitable for immediate implant placement.
