Digital vs traditional denture impressions: which is more accurate?
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares digital scan impressions to traditional putty impressions for making complete dentures. It aims to find out which method is more accurate for people who have no teeth left and need a full set of dentures.

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.
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 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 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 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 study compares two ways of making full dentures: the usual method and a newer digital (computer-based) method. Participation may help you get a well-fitting denture and help improve future care for people who need full dentures.
