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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 whether a new synthetic membrane, called Inox Nanoksa G-Plus, can help rebuild bone in the upper or lower jaw for adults who need dental implants but lack sufficient bone width or height. All participants receive the same surgery: the membrane is placed under the gums along with a bone graft material to guide new bone growth. The study measures pain, swelling, and bleeding in the first week, and uses 3D X-rays at 6 months to check how much new bone formed.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Inox Nanoksa G-Plus Membrane, a synthetic non-resorbable barrier used with bone graft to rebuild jawbone
What this could lead to
If successful, this membrane could offer a reliable synthetic option for jawbone rebuilding, helping more people get dental implants without needing a second surgical site for bone harvesting.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (12 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include infection, membrane exposure, or insufficient bone growth.

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 12 people

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

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: * Partial edentulism in the maxilla or mandible requiring single or multiple implant-supported restorations. * Insufficient bone volume for standard implant placement, defined as: * Horizontal defect: residual ridge width \< 5 mm at the intended implant site, OR * Vertical defect: residual ridge height \< 8 mm above vital structures (mandibular canal, maxillary sinus, nasal floor). * Healthy oral mucosa with no signs of active infection or inflammation at the defect site. * Systemically healthy or with well-controlled medical conditions (American Society of Anesthesiologists - ASA class I or II). Exclusion Criteria: * Untreated periodontitis or active peri-implant disease. * Current or previous treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates (or oral bisphosphonates for \> 3 years). * Severe immunosuppression or chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy (\> 10 mg/day prednisolone for \> 3 months). * Active smoking (\> 10 cigarettes per day). Smoking cessation for at least 2 weeks before surgery is required; heavy smokers may be excluded. * Pregnant or lactating women.
