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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This lab study compares the strength of regular denture material (PMMA) with a new version reinforced with graphene. Researchers will test 76 samples in a lab, not on people, to see if graphene makes dentures stronger and less likely to break. The goal is to find a more durable material for future dentures.

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: * INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Samples that are dimensionally accurate in accordance to ISO Standard 178.21 * Sample that are free from surface porosities like gaseous, granular or contraction porosities. * Samples have uniform color and surface texture indicating proper curing. * Samples free from crazing defects and warpage. * Samples with no signs of distortion after thermocycling. * Samples with homogeneously distributed graphene by visual inspection of samples. Exclusion Criteria: * • Samples with incorrect mixing ratio of base to catalyst. * Samples in which the metal bar is partially exposed. * Samples that are not fully embedded in plaster. * Samples showing sign of contamination from foreign body during packing process. * Samples with improper mixing of plaster shows a sign of cracks and voids surrounding the samples. * Samples in which the flask will not properly sealed during flasking. * Samples fractured due to thermocycling. * Samples fractured during handling or transportation before testing.
