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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 at the University of Michigan is testing whether ultrasound can monitor bone graft healing after tooth extraction, potentially replacing more invasive scans. About 140 adults needing a tooth extraction and bone graft for a future dental implant will have their healing checked with ultrasound and compared to micro-CT scans. The goal is to see if ultrasound provides accurate images of bone maturation, which could lead to simpler, radiation-free monitoring.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to check bone healing after dental grafts, helping dentists decide the best time for implant placement.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not testing a treatment. Ultrasound may not be accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
