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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether showing adults with gingivitis personalized 3D images of possible future gum changes helps them brush and clean between their teeth more consistently. The study enrolls 88 adults aged 18 to 60 with gingivitis, divided into three groups. One group receives standard face-to-face oral hygiene education, one watches general 3D animations, and one views personalized 3D visualizations built from their own mouth scans, followed by a motivational talk with a clinician. All groups receive the same nonsurgical periodontal treatment and brushing instruction. Researchers measure plaque, gum inflammation, bleeding, and motivation before treatment and six weeks later.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Personalized three-dimensional visualization of possible gum changes, used as an educational and motivational tool alongside clinician-guided discussion
What this could lead to
If it works, personalized 3D images could become a low-cost way for dental clinics to motivate patients to keep up daily plaque control and prevent gum disease from worsening.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short six-week study in healthy adults with mild gingivitis, so any improvement may fade over time or may not apply to people with more advanced gum disease. The images show possible scenarios, not personal predictions, and could alarm some patients.
