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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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

Summary

This trial compares two types of dental implant surfaces—Nanotite and Osseotite—to see which one integrates more successfully when placed by graduate students learning implant surgery. The study includes adults who already need dental implants for missing teeth. The goal is to find out whether the Nanotite surface offers any advantage in a teaching setting.

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 with either Nanotite or Osseotite surface
What this could lead to
If one surface proves more forgiving in less experienced hands, it could improve success rates for dental implants placed by trainees.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage device comparison, not a test of a new treatment. Results may not apply to experienced surgeons or different implant designs.
