Comparing Computer Methods for Measuring Upper Canine Teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two computer methods for measuring an upper canine tooth that has not come in properly. It uses a 3D scanning tool to see which method gives more accurate results and could help dentists plan better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 70 years old, with a specific age depending on the tooth type (8 to less than 15 for unerupted, or 15 to 70 for impacted).
- You have a maxillary canine (upper eye tooth) that is either still under the gum (unerupted) or stuck and not coming in normally (impacted).
- Your dental scan must clearly show that tooth, with no blurry or distorted areas that could block the view.
- Your scan cannot have fractures, cysts, or other damage in the area that would make the tooth hard to measure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new method to expose an upper canine tooth that is stuck behind the other teeth (palatally impacted). If you have one impacted canine on one side and it's not too high or angled, this study may compare a newer, less invasive exposure technique to the standard approach.
This trial compares two techniques for scanning dental implants in the upper jaw to make a new permanent bridge or denture. It aims to find which method gives a more accurate fit.
This study looks at tooth widths using digital scans. It helps dentists understand normal tooth sizes for kids, which can guide future dental care and braces.
This study compares two methods for making 3D-printed dentures to see which patients like better. It aims to find which technique is more comfortable and satisfying.
This study uses a computer program (deep learning model) to look at CBCT scans and measure the curve of root canals in lower back teeth. It may help dentists plan root canal treatments more accurately, and you could participate if you already have a scan or need one.
This study tests a new scanning method for people who have no teeth in either jaw. It aims to see if the scan is accurate enough to use for planning dental implants, which could help you get a better-fitting set of teeth.
