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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study compares 3D-printed night guards to standard acrylic ones for people who grind their teeth (bruxism). Forty-four adults will wear the splints during sleep for 3 months. Researchers will measure how much the splints wear down and ask participants about their satisfaction and quality of life. The goal is to see if the 3D-printed version works just as well.

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 occlusal splint (night guard)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that 3D-printed night guards are a good alternative to standard ones, potentially making treatment more accessible and affordable.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 44 people. The 3D-printed splints might not be as durable or comfortable as expected, and results may not apply to everyone with bruxism.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

Participants

About 44 people

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

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: * Adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with bruxism (sleep and/or awake bruxism) based on clinical assessment and patient report. Indication for an occlusal splint and willingness to wear the splint during sleep for 3 months. Ability to provide written informed consent and to attend scheduled follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Current or recent use of an occlusal splint within the last 6 months. Ongoing orthodontic treatment or planned major dental treatment during the study period that could affect occlusion. Severe temporomandibular disorder requiring active treatment (e.g., acute pain, limited mouth opening) or other conditions that could contraindicate splint use. Extensive untreated dental disease requiring immediate care (e.g., severe periodontal disease, multiple untreated caries). Systemic/neurologic conditions or medications that may significantly affect bruxism or neuromuscular function (as judged by the investigator).
