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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 follows 100 people who already have short, 3D-printed dental implants in the back of the upper or lower jaw. Researchers measure bone loss and other dental health markers over three years to see how well these implants hold up. The goal is to learn whether these specially made implants are a good long-term solution for patients with limited bone height.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
short dental implants produced by additive manufacturing (3D printing)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that short 3D-printed implants are a reliable option for people with severe bone loss, reducing the need for bone grafts.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up study, not a treatment trial. It only measures outcomes in people who already have these implants, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Individuals (\> 21 years old), of both sexes, specifically rehabilitated with Morse connection implants (Plenum Bioengenharia, Jundiai, SP, Brazil) in the posterior region of the jaws for implant-supported restorations, will be included in this study. Subjects will need to have at least baseline radiographic controls (immediately after implant placement) and radiographic controls at 12 and 36 months after implant placement. Individuals will be included in the population sample based on the following criteria: location, region of implant installation, implant diameter, and adaptation.

Ages

18 years and older

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals (\> 21 years old) with Morse connection implants in the posterior region of the jaws for implant-supported restorations; baseline radiographic controls (immediately after implant placement) and radiographic controls at 12 and 36 months after implant placement. Exclusion Criteria: * Immediate implants will be excluded; individuals with clinical records who, throughout the study, do not have radiographs for evaluation and/or radiographs of poor quality that make radiographic measurements impossible; medical records with insufficient data, filled out inappropriately, or that indicate doubt about the details of the procedure performed.
