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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study follows 100 adults who received short dental implants (7 or 8 mm) in the back part of the upper or lower jaw. Researchers want to see how well these implants hold up over 5 years by measuring bone loss, stability, and overall success. The goal is to determine if shorter implants can be a dependable option for people with limited bone height, potentially avoiding more complex procedures like bone grafts.

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 (7 and 8 mm) with Morse taper connection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that short implants are a reliable long-term option for people with limited jawbone, reducing the need for bone grafts.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up, not a controlled trial, so results may not apply to all implant types or patients. Implants can still fail over time due to infection or bone loss.

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 (Implacil De Bortoli, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) in the posterior region of the jaws for single-sided unsupported restorations, will be included in this study. Individuals will also need to have at least initial radiographic controls (immediately after implant placement) and 12 and 60 months of follow-up after implant placement. Individuals will be included in the population sample, with the following criteria observed: location, implant installation region, implant diameter, and adaptation.

Ages

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals (\> 21 years old), of both sexes, specifically rehabilitated with morse connection implants (Implacil De Bortoli, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) in the posterior region of the jaws for single-sided unsupported restorations, will be included in this study. Individuals will also need to have at least initial radiographic controls (immediately after implant placement) and 12 and 60 months of follow-up after implant placement. Individuals will be included in the population sample, with the following criteria observed: location, implant installation region, implant diameter, and adaptation. 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.
