Scanning technology for custom dental attachments
This trial tests a new scanning method to make custom attachments that fit inside a root-canal-treated tooth. These attachments help hold a type of denture called an overdenture. The goal is to see if the scanning technology makes the attachments more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a tooth that has had a root canal and needs a special attachment inside the root to hold a denture.
- You keep your teeth and gums clean (good oral hygiene).
- You may have some teeth with less bone support, but they can still be used to anchor a denture after treatment.

This research tests whether advanced scanning technology improves the fit of custom attachments placed inside root-canal-treated teeth to support dentures. If you have some remaining teeth that need support and are considering a denture, this trial may help you get a better-fitting solution.
This trial tests two different ways of taking digital scans of the mouth to make a full set of teeth supported by four implants in the lower jaw. It compares a standard scanning method with a new pattern-assisted technique to see which is more accurate.
This trial compares two techniques for scanning dental implants in the upper jaw to make a new permanent bridge or denture. It aims to find which method gives a more accurate fit.
This study compares different dental scanning techniques to see which one helps make more accurate replacement teeth for people without any natural teeth. It aims to improve how well permanent implants and their attachments fit.
This study tests how accurately a digital scanning method (photogrammetry) can measure and plan treatment for patients with implant-supported full-mouth dental replacements. If you have multiple dental implants supporting a complete denture or bridge, researchers want to see if this scanning technique gives reliable measurements to help design better-fitting prosthetics.
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.
