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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether a graft made from a patient's own extracted tooth can preserve the jawbone that normally shrinks after tooth removal. Researchers compare four approaches: no graft, dentin graft alone, dentin graft combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) from the patient's blood, and a standard freeze-dried bone allograft. Four months later, they take small bone samples to measure new bone formation, blood vessel growth, and a bone-building protein. The goal is to see if the patient's own tooth, which would otherwise be thrown away, can work as well as or better than current bone substitutes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Autogenous dentin graft, alone or combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), compared with freeze-dried bone allograft or no grafting
What this could lead to
If it works, this could turn a discarded tooth into a low-cost, effective way to preserve jawbone after extraction, potentially reducing the need for additional bone-building procedures before dental implants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The graft material is processed from the patient's own tooth, and outcomes depend on individual healing.
