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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study tested two computer-guided techniques for placing tiny screws (miniscrews) in the roof of the mouth to help with orthodontic treatment. Forty people needing these screws were randomly assigned to have them placed using either a static surgical guide (a custom template) or a dynamic navigation system (real-time tracking). The researchers measured how accurately each method placed the screws by comparing planned positions with actual positions on CT scans. The goal is to find which technique is more precise, which could lead to safer and more effective orthodontic care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Computer-guided miniscrew insertion procedure
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help orthodontists choose the most accurate method for placing miniscrews, potentially improving treatment outcomes and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial focused on accuracy rather than clinical outcomes. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the techniques require specialized equipment and training.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

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.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
