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 Results may not be published yet.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

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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study compares a chitosan brush to a standard titanium curette for non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis, a gum infection that can cause bone loss around dental implants. Sixty implants will be treated, and researchers will track gum health and immune markers over 12 months. The goal is to see if the chitosan brush provides better results.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
chitosan brush
What this could lead to
If the chitosan brush works better than the standard tool, it could offer a gentler, more effective way to treat gum infections around dental implants without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 implants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not prove superior to the standard curette.

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 60 people

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

Started

Other sponsor

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

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Presence of peri-implantitis in an implant that has been in function for more than 12 months * Age ≥ 18 and \< 65 * Agreeing to participate in the study after reading the informed consent form * Completion of periodontal treatment of patients diagnosed with periodontitis before inclusion in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under 18 years of age * Patients who have received or are currently receiving radiotherapy, chemotherapy and long-term systemic corticosteroid treatment * Patients who received systemic antibiotics within 6 months from baseline * Pregnant or lactating patients * Patients with anatomical abnormalities around the implant (e.g., apically positioned implants adjacent to a tooth) * Patients with prostheses that prevent access for implant debridement with chitosan brushes or titanium curettes * Implants with an overdenture superstructure * Implants to be explanted * Patients with ASA score ≥ 3 * Patients reporting reactions or adverse events to chitosan, stainless steel, adhesives, or polypropylene * Clinically mobile implants * Recently placed and non-osseointegrated implants * Around major nerves and blood vessels, if there is a risk of structural damage
