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 Results may not be published yet.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 trial tests whether treating the metal part of a dental implant with a laser helps the gum attach more tightly, which may prevent bacteria from getting in and causing infection or bone loss. Twenty-four people with healed implants will receive either a laser-treated abutment or a standard one. After three months, the researchers will measure gum health and patient satisfaction to see if the laser makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ND:YAG laser surface treatment on titanium abutments
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple way to improve dental implant longevity by strengthening the gum seal and reducing the risk of infection and bone loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Laser treatment could also fail to improve outcomes or cause unforeseen tissue reactions.
