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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 looks at whether a specific dental implant can hold a temporary bridge right after being placed, so patients don't have to wait months for a permanent restoration. Researchers will follow 75 adults with missing back teeth who need a short bridge. The main question is whether the implant stays stable and fuses with the bone 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
a dental implant system (Osseotite Prevail) used for immediate loading with a temporary bridge
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could allow people with missing teeth to receive a functional temporary bridge on the same day as implant surgery, reducing wait time.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study without a control group, so results may not prove superiority over standard approaches. Implant failure or bone loss remain possible risks.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * patients of either sex and of any race, 18 years of age or older * patients for whom the decision has already been made to use dental implants for treating partial edentulism in the posterior mandible or maxilla using a short span fixed prosthesis of two to four units * patients must be physically able to tolerate conventional surgical and restorative procedures * requirements for implant placement include: at least 1mm bone will be available at the buccal and lingual aspect of the implant and at least 1mm of bone below the apex * patients must agree to return to the clinic for each study follow-up visit * requirements for prosthetic fabrication include: bone width at least 6mm and a bone height of at least 11mm Exclusion Criteria: * patients with active infection or severe inflammation in the areas intended for implant placement * patients with a \>10 cigarettes / day smoking habit * patients with uncontrolled diabetes or metabolic bone disease * patients with a history of therapeutic radiation to the head * patients in need of bone grafting at the site of the intended study implant; if at the time of surgery some lateral voids need to be filled this is acceptable and does not exclude the patient from the analysis * patients who are known to be pregnant * patients with para-functional habits with evidence of severe bruxing or clenching * placement of implants into sites with less than sixteen weeks of post-extraction healing; for 3-4 unit cases one implant site may have less than sixteen weeks of healing prior to implant placement * type III or IV bone characteristics of the intended implant sites * inter-arch distance of less than 7mm (planned location of implant seating platform to the apposing occlusal landmark)
