Palatal shape diagnosis using CBCT scans
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods to diagnose the shape of the roof of the mouth (palatal arch) using CBCT scans. It may help find a better way to plan dental treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a CBCT scan that shows your entire hard palate (the bony part of the roof of your mouth)
- You have both upper first molar teeth present
- You have not had any surgery or injury to the roof of your mouth
- You do not have any birth defects or diseases affecting your upper jaw or face
- Your CBCT scan is of good quality

This trial looks at how the shape of the roof of the mouth (palate) relates to age and nearby anatomy using CT scans taken for dental reasons. It may help explain why some people have different responses to dental treatments.
This study looks at old dental CT scans to measure the sinuses and a canal in the roof of the mouth. It may help future procedures in that area.
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 trial tests two techniques for fixing a specific type of broken bone in the roof of the mouth (palate). It aims to see which method better keeps the back teeth properly aligned after surgery.
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
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.
