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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

When a tooth is removed, the bone and gum often shrink, making it harder to place a dental implant later. This study tests a new magnesium membrane that is placed over a bone graft in the socket. Unlike standard membranes, it is rigid enough to protect the graft but dissolves on its own within about 16 weeks, so no second surgery is needed. Ten adults will be followed for up to 19 months to see how much bone is preserved and whether this approach reduces the need for extra grafting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
magnesium membrane (NOVAMag®) and bovine bone substitute
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simpler, less invasive way to preserve bone after tooth removal, making future dental implant placement easier and reducing the need for additional bone grafting.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The membrane is new and its benefits over existing options are not yet proven.

Study facts

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

10 people

Expected to finish

Jul 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

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

Who can take part

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