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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether a thin, strong fiber splint glued to the back of loose front teeth can keep them stable for a year. The splint is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is placed after standard gum treatment. Researchers will track how many teeth survive, how well the splint holds up, and how satisfied patients are. The goal is to see if this simple device can help people with advanced gum disease keep their natural teeth longer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
intracoronal fiber-reinforced periodontal splint using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (Ribbond) fibers
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a simple, non-surgical way to stabilize loose teeth and delay or avoid tooth loss in people with advanced gum disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The splints may break or fail over time, and long-term benefits beyond 12 months are unknown.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adults with periodontitis presenting with pathologic mobility of one or more anterior teeth due to periodontal attachment loss who received intracoronal ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (Ribbond®) periodontal splinting following active periodontal therapy at the Faculty of Dentistry, Selcuk University.

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 aged 18 years or older. Presence of at least one maxillary or mandibular anterior tooth with pathologic mobility due to periodontal attachment loss requiring intracoronal ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (Ribbond®) splinting, performed as an adjunct to non-surgical (Phase I) or surgical (Phase II) periodontal therapy, or following completion of periodontal therapy. Willingness to attend all scheduled follow-up visits during the study period. Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Age younger than 18 years. Pregnancy. Splint placement performed for dentoalveolar trauma rather than periodontal attachment loss. History of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunosuppressive therapy. Temporary splinting intended only for provisional periodontal stabilization. Splinting performed using materials other than ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (Ribbond®), including wire-composite or composite-only splints.
