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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial compares two types of temporary crowns used right after a tooth is pulled and an implant is placed in the front upper jaw. One crown is 3D-printed from resin, the other is milled from a block of PMMA plastic. Researchers will check how well the gums heal and how the final smile looks, aiming to find which temporary crown 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
a 3D-printed resin provisional crown or a CAD/CAM-milled PMMA provisional crown
What this could lead to
If one crown type proves better, it could improve the look and health of gums around immediate dental implants, leading to more predictable aesthetic results.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or dentists. Both crown types are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.

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 presenting with non-restorable teeth in the maxillary esthetic zone indicated for extraction and immediate implant placement. * Age ranging from 18 to 50 years. * Adequate interarch relationship and interocclusal space to accommodate the planned prosthetic restoration. * Intact extraction socket walls with a jumping gap not exceeding 4 mm, as measured on preoperative CBCT images. The jumping gap will be defined as the horizontal distance between the implant surface and the inner aspect of the buccal socket wall and will be grafted in all cases. * Good oral hygiene and periodontal health. * Willingness to attend all follow-up visits and comply with study requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of acute infection, pathological lesions, or severe periodontal disease at the planned implant site. * Smokers. * Alcohol or drug abuse. * Patients with systemic conditions contraindicating implant surgery (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, bleeding disorders, immunosuppression, recent radiotherapy to the head and neck region). * Pregnancy or lactation. * Patients with parafunctional habits such as bruxism or clenching. * Inability to maintain adequate oral hygiene or attend follow-up visits.
