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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers compare two small attachments placed on dental implants during surgery: a cover screw or a healing abutment. Fifty healthy non-smoking adults who need a dental implant join the study and are assigned to one of the two groups at random. The team measures bone levels around each implant on X-rays at the start and three months later to see whether the choice of attachment affects bone loss during early healing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
The choice between a cover screw and a healing abutment attached to a dental implant at placement
What this could lead to
If one approach preserves bone better, dentists could pick that attachment at implant placement to help implants last longer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short study of 50 healthy non-smokers, so its results may not apply to people with health conditions or smokers. Bone changes over three months may not predict long-term implant success.

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 50 people

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

Started

Expected to finish

Sep 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: * Age between 18 and 65 years * Systemically healthy individuals * Non-smokers * Adequate alveolar bone height and width for implant placement without the -need for bone augmentation or regenerative procedures * Adequate keratinized mucosal width (\>2 mm) at the planned implant site * Indication for dental implant treatment Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of systemic disease or medical conditions that may contraindicate -implant surgery or affect bone healing * Current smoking or use of tobacco products * Insufficient alveolar bone height or width requiring bone augmentation or regenerative procedures at the implant site * Keratinized mucosal width ≤2 mm at the planned implant site * Presence of conditions that preclude standard dental implant placement * Inability or unwillingness to attend the 3-month follow-up visit
