Comparing two digital scanning methods for full-arch implant teeth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You have no natural teeth in your lower jaw (completely edentulous mandible).
- You have four dental implants in your lower jaw that are healed and stable (osseointegrated).
- You are in good overall health and have no serious medical conditions that affect bone healing.
- You are willing to come to all study visits and can follow the study instructions.

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 tests two types of dental scanners to see which one makes more accurate impressions for people with no teeth. It might help find a more comfortable and precise way to create dentures.
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 trial tests a faster digital scanning method using a special camera (photogrammetry) versus a standard intraoral scanner for making a full set of implant-supported teeth. It aims to see which method leads to fewer problems with the final restoration.
This study tests whether a new way of scanning your dental implants (using special scan bodies) gives accurate results for making a full set of teeth. It may help improve the fit of your replacement teeth.
