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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 compares two ways of making full dentures for people who have lost all their teeth. One method uses digital scans and 3D printing, while the other combines traditional impressions with digital design. Twenty participants will try both types of dentures for two months each, and researchers will measure how well they fit, how they affect quality of life, and how much they wear down over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
3D-printed dentures (digital workflow) and hybrid workflow dentures
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that 3D-printed dentures are as good or better than traditional ones, making denture creation faster and more comfortable for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The study also has no washout period between treatments, which could affect outcomes.

Participants

About 20 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Nov 2027

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.
