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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study tests three materials for healing abutments—the cap placed on a dental implant while the gum heals. Thirty adults aged 25–45 with a missing front tooth received either a standard titanium cap, a custom milled PEEK cap, or a custom 3D-printed resin cap. Researchers measured plaque buildup, gum bleeding, and gum shape to see which material helps the gum heal best around the implant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
customized healing abutment (titanium, PEEK, or 3D-printed hybrid resin)
What this could lead to
If one material works better, dentists may use it to improve gum healing and long-term implant appearance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 30 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Different materials may show no clear advantage.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient's aged 25-45 years old * Patients with missing tooth needing solitary implant placement rehabilitation in the maxillary anterior regions with neighboring and opposite normal teeth. * Adequate mesial, distal, and interocclusal space for implant engagement and its absolute re-establishment. * Patients can recite and mark the informed approval paper. * Medically free patients or with controlled systemic disease. * Patients with acceptable bone quality and quantity. * Patients can return for follow-up examinations and evaluation. * Patients with good oral hygiene. * Nasal floor clearance from root apex at least 4 mm. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with inappropriate implantation situates (patients with foremost bony deficiencies or sever bone resorption). * Patient with severe clenching or bruxism. * Heavy smokers or drug abusers. * Psychiatric complications or impractical prospects. * Patients with bad oral hygiene. * Systemic conditions that may impact soft or hard tissue curing. * Patients with history of radiation treatment in the head and neck area. * Pregnant female
