Comparing dental impression methods for full-arch implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to take dental impressions for full-arch implant-supported prostheses: traditional putty, intraoral scanning, and digital photogrammetry. It aims to find which method is most accurate, which could help improve comfort and fit for people with multiple dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing all teeth on your upper or lower jaw (edentulous arch).
- You have 4 to 8 dental implants placed in that jaw that are fully healed and stable (osseointegrated).
- Your implants are from the NobelBiocare brand and have specific abutments (Multi-unit) tightened to 35 N/cm.
- You do not have any implants that are loose or not healed.
- You do not have any implants from other brands.
- You do not have partial tooth loss (you need to have no natural teeth in that arch).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests two types of dental implant surfaces to see which works better. It may be a good fit if you need one or more missing teeth replaced and are generally healthy.
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 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 tests three ways of taking dental impressions to see which one makes your new teeth fit better and takes less time. If you are missing most or all of your upper teeth and want a fixed replacement, you may be able to join.
This trial tests how well three different scanning techniques capture the position of implants in a full-arch model. It aims to find which method is most accurate for planning dental implant treatments.
This trial tests two different ways of taking digital scans of the mouth to make a full set of teeth supported by four implants in the lower jaw. It compares a standard scanning method with a new pattern-assisted technique to see which is more accurate.
