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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 two standard methods—manual scraping with a hand tool or using a small rotating bur—to clean out unhealthy tissue from a tooth socket after extraction. About 60 adults with long-term tooth infections will be randomly assigned to one method, then all receive a bone graft. The goal is to see which technique is faster, less painful, and leads to better bone healing for future dental implants.

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.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients will be recruited from those attending the outpatient clinics of the College of Dentistry. * Adults aged 18-65 years of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I, presenting with a tooth indicated for extraction due to chronic periapical pathology (e.g., periapical granuloma or cystic lesion) confirmed clinically and radiographically. * All cases must be verified with a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan demonstrating periapical pathology with intact socket walls and sufficient residual alveolar bone to allow for ridge preservation. A 10 x 10 cm volume covering both jaws is required, because the vertical reference landmarks for the radiographic outcome are the inferior border of the mandible and the floor of the maxillary sinus or nasal cavity. * Only teeth with single or multi-rooted lesions indicated for atraumatic extraction without excessive bone removal will be considered. * Participants must also be capable of providing informed consent, demonstrate adequate oral hygiene, and be willing to return for scheduled follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: * Acute odontogenic infection at the extraction site. * Thin buccal bone (\< 1mm on CBCT). * Severe periodontal breakdown with more than 50% bone loss. * Grade III mobility. * Root morphology that limits instrument accessibility. * Any systemic condition placing the patient above ASA I. * Pregnant or lactating women. * Medications known to affect bone metabolism such as long-term corticosteroids or bisphosphonates. * Self-reported or documented allergy to penicillin or amoxicillin. * Poor oral hygiene, inability to maintain adequate postoperative care, or unwillingness to attend scheduled follow-up visits.
