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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at whether non-surgical gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) can change levels of certain bone-related substances in the blood of people with advanced gum disease. Sixteen adults with stage III periodontitis will receive the treatment, and their blood will be tested before and after. The goal is to understand how gum therapy affects bone metabolism, but the study is small and early-stage, so results are preliminary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Non-surgical periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help show that gum treatment improves bone health markers in the blood, pointing toward better ways to manage periodontitis.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (16 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or apply to others. It only measures blood markers, not long-term health outcomes.
