Comparing visual check to 3D X-ray for palate shape
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares a simple visual check of the roof of your mouth (palate) with a 3D X-ray measurement to see if doctors can reliably tell the shape of your palate. This may help improve how dental treatments are planned.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need a recent 3D dental X-ray (CBCT) that clearly shows the full roof of your mouth.
- You must have your first upper back teeth (first molars) on both sides.
- You should not have had any surgery or serious injury to the roof of your mouth.
- You should not have any growths, disease, or other abnormal conditions in the roof of your mouth.
- Your CBCT scan must be of good quality (not blurry or incomplete).

This study uses CT scans to map the shape of the palate (roof of the mouth) and a nearby canal, to help dentists plan treatments like numbing shots and tooth extractions. If you have a healthy palate and clear scans, you may help improve care for others.
This trial studies how a rapid palatal expander (a device that widens the upper jaw) affects the shape of the roof of the mouth in growing children. It may help children with a posterior crossbite and a certain stage of dental development.
This study looks at detailed 3D scans of upper back teeth (molars) to understand the shape of the root canals that dentists treat during root canal therapy. It aims to help dentists better treat these teeth.
This trial studies a computer “neural network” that uses existing dental impressions, scans, and photos to measure cleft palate features. The goal is to reduce the amount of repeated cleft lip and palate clinic work for patients and families.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the shape and movement of the palate after a special type of cleft palate repair surgery. The goal is to see how well the new muscle flap works in helping speech, which could improve future surgeries for other children.
This study uses 3D scans of the inside of the mouth to see if they can help doctors diagnose certain rare bone and cartilage conditions. If you have one of these conditions, your scan could help teach an AI system to improve future diagnoses.
