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 Results may not be published yet.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

Researchers compare three ways to place dental implants: a flapless mini-incision, a flapless punch, and the standard flap surgery that lifts gum tissue. The trial enrolls 90 adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone to support an implant. Participants are randomly assigned to one technique, and researchers track pain scores and check soft-tissue healing and bone levels around the implant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
dental implant placement using a flapless mini-incision surgical technique
What this could lead to
If the mini-incision approach works, patients could get dental implants with less pain and faster soft-tissue healing than conventional flap surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study of 90 people with healthy gums and good bone, so results may not apply to patients with gum disease or weak bone. Surgical techniques can also cause infection, swelling, or implant failure regardless of approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients with adequate bone height and width at the site of implant 120 placement, and good quality bone to support a primary stability of at least 30 Ncm and D2 bone quality according to Lekholm and Zarb classification), based on preoperative radiographic assessment * Clinical evidence of optimal periodontal health with no active periodontal disease in adjacent teeth * No history of systemic illnesses that could affect bone health and wound heal- ing (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, renal osteodystrophy…etc.) * No history of or requirement for bone grafting and augmentation at the implant site * Willingness to participate in the study and attend prescribed follow-up appointments Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with history of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer * Patients with history of allergy and hypersensitivity to local anesthetic agents, and biomaterials used in dental implants * Pregnant women and lactating mothers * History of smoking (\>2 cigarettes per day) * Patients under treatment with anti-resorptive or anti-neoplastic medication such as bisphosphonates, chemotherapeutic agents, and monoclonal antibodies (e.g. Denosumab
