3D study of wisdom teeth and jaw growth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses a 3D dental x-ray (CBCT) to look at how wisdom teeth that are stuck (impacted) relate to the growth pattern of your jaw. It might help doctors understand why some wisdom teeth get stuck.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are done growing (your jaw growth is finished, as shown on an x-ray).
- You have at least one wisdom tooth that is stuck (impacted) and not fully grown in.
- You have never had a broken jaw or face injury.
- You have never had braces or other orthodontic treatment.
- You have never had surgery on your jaw or face.
- You do not have any missing permanent teeth, growth disorders, or syndromes affecting your face or jaw.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special 3D imaging tool helps protect your gums from pulling back (receding) while straightening your teeth with clear aligners. Gum recession can expose tooth roots and cause sensitivity, so the trial is exploring whether better visualization during treatment planning prevents this problem.
This trial uses 3D imaging to compare two ways of widening the upper jaw in children. It may help your child if they need jaw expansion and haven't had it before.
This study tests a new procedure to remove the early-forming wisdom tooth bud in children, which may prevent future wisdom tooth issues. It is for children who have not yet developed wisdom teeth fully.
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This study uses 3D dental scans to look at how often Egyptian people have extra root canals in their lower back teeth. It helps dentists know what to look for during treatment.
