What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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

Summary

This study tests whether a custom 3D-printed implant can safely drain jaw cysts, avoiding more invasive surgery. Twenty patients with odontogenic cysts near important jaw structures will receive the implant after a small surgical opening. The implant stays in place with tiny screws and allows cyst fluid to drain into the mouth. Researchers will check if the cyst heals and shrinks over time, and watch for complications like infection or nerve damage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Patient-specific implant (3D-printed device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a less invasive way to treat jaw cysts, reducing the need for extensive surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 people) testing feasibility only. The implant may fail, cause infection, or not prevent cyst recurrence.
