Measuring dental plaque with a 3D scanner
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if a special 3D intraoral scanner can accurately measure dental plaque (the sticky film on your teeth) compared to traditional methods. If you have most of your natural teeth and some plaque, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least 20 natural teeth (not counting wisdom teeth).
- You must have visible plaque on more than 20% of your teeth at the start.
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You cannot wear braces or have large fillings or false teeth on your front teeth.
- You must not have a medical condition that affects plaque buildup or take medications that change how much saliva you produce.

This study uses a special camera (intraoral scanner) to measure plaque buildup on teeth, fillings, and ceramic veneers. It tests if 3D imaging can give a more detailed look at plaque, helping to improve oral care.
This study tests whether special 3D imaging and intraoral scanning tools can help dentists better identify tooth decay and plaque buildup. Researchers want to see if these new methods work well and could improve how cavities are diagnosed.
This trial uses a special camera and 3D X-ray to detect dental plaque and cavities. It may help find a faster, more accurate way to diagnose tooth decay.
This study tests if a special intraoral scanner can help dentists find gum problems and tooth issues. If you have receding gums, you may be able to join.
This study uses digital tools to assess dental problems in adults who are new to a dental practice or haven't visited in the last six months. It aims to understand how well these tools work for finding dental issues.
This study uses imaging to look at how healthy your gums are and how much “plaque/biofilm” is in your mouth. It may help researchers better understand gum health and how oral hygiene affects it.
