A trial on dental alginate impressions and disinfectants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if adding disinfectants to dental alginate (a material used for making tooth molds) changes the size or shape of the mold. It may help dentists understand whether cleaning molds changes their accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The models used in the study must be free of cracks or holes that could affect measurements.
- The models must have a complete upper jaw shape.

This study tests how different denture cleaning solutions affect the surface of two special types of denture materials (PMMA and PEEK) that are made by computer-controlled milling. It aims to see if these cleaners cause wear or damage over time.
This study compares two ways of taking dental molds (digital vs. traditional) to see which one makes children feel less anxious and more comfortable. It is for young children who are cooperative and have never been to the dentist before.
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 trial compares two ways of taking dental impressions for orthodontic treatment: a traditional gooey material (alginate) versus a digital scan with a special camera. If you are starting orthodontic care at Nottingham University Hospitals, you may be able to join.
This study tests two ways of making a custom mouthguard (occlusal splint) for healthy people. One way uses a wax bite impression, the other uses a digital scan. The goal is to see which method fits better.
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.
