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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers compare two materials for the framework that supports a full set of replacement teeth on four dental implants in the lower jaw. Ten completely edentulous patients receive either a titanium or a nano-carbon fiber-reinforced CAD/CAM framework. The study tracks gum health, bone levels around the implants, and prosthetic complications over 12 months to see which material performs better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CAD/CAM framework materials for dental implants: titanium and nano-carbon fiber-reinforced composite
What this could lead to
If one material performs better, dentists could choose it to reduce gum problems and implant complications for people with full lower-jaw tooth loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 10 people over 12 months, so differences between materials may be too small to detect or may not apply to everyone. Implant surgery carries usual risks like infection or implant failure.

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.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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: * \* Completely edentulous patients requiring mandibular implant-supported rehabilitation. * Adequate bone quantity and quality in the mandibular interforaminal region for implant placement. * Adequate restorative space for an implant-supported hybrid prosthesis. * Healthy oral mucosa and acceptable oral hygiene. * Patients medically fit to undergo implant surgery. * Ability and willingness to attend the scheduled follow-up visits and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Systemic conditions or medical contraindications that could interfere with implant surgery or healing. * History of radiotherapy to the head and neck region. * Smoking. * Alcohol abuse. * Bruxism or clenching habits. * Any local condition that could compromise implant placement or the planned prosthetic rehabilitation.
