3D-printed lower dentures: comparing impression methods
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be generally healthy with no uncontrolled conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis.
- Your lower jaw must have enough healthy bone to fit standard dental implants.
- The gum tissue covering your jaw should be healthy and firm.
- Your upper and lower jaw must line up in a standard way (a 'normal bite' with no extreme overbite or underbite).
- You cannot have had cancer treatment (radiation or chemo) to your head or neck in the past 3 years.
- You cannot have habits like teeth grinding, smoking, or heavy drinking.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study compares how well 3D-printed denture teeth wear down over time compared to traditional teeth. You will get new upper and lower complete dentures made with digital technology, and the study will check how they hold up during normal use.
This study compares new 3D-printed denture teeth with traditional denture teeth to see which wears less and works better with your jaw muscles. If you need complete dentures, this trial may help find a more durable and comfortable option for you.
This study compares two ways of taking molds (impressions) of your gums when making new dentures. The goal is to see which method gives a better fit, which could make your dentures more comfortable and secure.
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 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 patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
