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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

This study tested whether a gentler, magnified cleaning method (MINST) works better than standard deep cleaning for treating early gum recession. Fifty-four adults with shallow gum recession (3 mm or less) took part. The goal was to see if MINST could reduce recession depth and width and improve root coverage more than the usual approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Minimally invasive non-surgical periodontal therapy (MINST) using magnifying loupes
What this could lead to
If MINST works better, it could offer a less painful, more effective way to treat early gum recession without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be small and not last long-term.
