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 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 compares digital scan impressions to traditional putty impressions for making complete dentures. It aims to find out which method is more accurate for people who have no teeth left and need a full set of dentures.
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.
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.
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.
