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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at whether different digital bite recording methods affect how well Michigan splints (mouthpieces for jaw pain) fit. Ten adults with jaw disorders each had four splints made using different digital workflows. Researchers measured how much adjustment was needed to make each splint fit properly. The goal was to find the most accurate digital method to improve dental care.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate and efficient digital workflows for making occlusal splints, reducing chair time for dentists and patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed study (10 participants) focused on technical outcomes, not on treating TMD itself. Results may not apply to all patients or dental practices.
