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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether short dental implants can work as well as standard implants placed after sinus surgery for people with limited bone height in the upper back jaw. Participants have partial tooth loss and a shallow sinus floor that would normally require a sinus lift procedure. The study compares implant success rates and the resources needed for each approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
short dental implants (Nanotite titanium implants)
What this could lead to
If successful, short implants could offer a simpler, less invasive option for people needing tooth replacement in the upper jaw, avoiding sinus surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 37 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Short implants may have lower long-term success rates than standard implants placed after sinus augmentation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * patients of either sex and any race greater than 18 years of age * patients with partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla requiring a unilateral implant-supported maxillary prosthesis * patients with a residual alveolar floor of the sinus between 4 and 6 mm in height, as assessed on intraoral radiographs, and able to receive at least a 4mm wide implant * patients must be physically able to tolerate conventional surgical and restorative procedures Exclusion Criteria: * patients with active infection or severe inflammation in the areas intended for implant placement * patients with a \> 10 cigarettes per day smoking habit * patients with uncontrolled diabetes or metabolic bone disease * patient with a history of therapeutic radiation to the head * patients who are known to be pregnant * patients with para-functional habits with evidence of severe bruxing or clenching * patients not able to commit to a 3 year follow-up program
