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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether shorter dental implants (6.3mm) work as well as standard ones (9mm) for people with low bone height in the upper jaw who need a sinus lift. Thirty-six adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of three implant types. Researchers will track complications like swelling and pain, and measure bone loss around the implant over three years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Astra Tech Implant EV short implants (6.3mm and 8mm) and conventional implants (9mm)
What this could lead to
If successful, short implants could offer a less invasive option for people with low bone height, potentially avoiding more complex sinus lift surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are standard risks like implant failure, swelling, and pain.

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.

Participants

About 36 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start
