Comparing methods for making denture impressions in the upper jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different ways of making a mold (impression) of your upper jaw to help a full set of dentures fit better and stay in place. It is for people who have lost all of their teeth and have mild to moderate bone loss in the upper jaw.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lost all your teeth on both the top and bottom (bimaxillary edentulous).
- Your upper jaw bone has mild to moderate shrinkage (not severe).
- You are between 35 and 85 years old and can attend follow-up visits.
- You do not have bony lumps, severe dry mouth, or uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis.

This study compares two ways of making dental impressions for 3D-printed overdentures (removable tooth replacements held by implants). It looks for people who need new lower-jaw implants and are otherwise healthy.
This trial compares two ways of taking dental impressions (molds) for making a full-arch implant-supported denture. One method uses a digital scanner, the other uses traditional dental putty. The goal is to see if one results in a more comfortable and precise fit.
This study compares two procedures used to prepare dentures for people who have no teeth in the upper jaw. It aims to see which approach works better and causes fewer problems during and after dental implant placement.
This trial tests whether taking digital scans with pre-marked points is better than traditional gooey impressions for making denture molds in people with no lower teeth.
This study compares digital and traditional methods for taking dental impressions in people who have a full arch of implants supporting a permanent fixed bridge. It aims to see which method is more accurate.
This study tests different techniques for taking accurate impressions (molds) of your upper jaw when preparing for full-arch dental implants (a fixed bridge supported by implants). The goal is to improve the fit and success of your final implant-supported teeth.
