Measuring plaque on teeth and restorations with a 3D scanner
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera (intraoral scanner) to measure plaque buildup on teeth, fillings, and ceramic veneers. It tests if 3D imaging can give a more detailed look at plaque, helping to improve oral care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You should be in good general health and not taking long-term medications.
- You need to have at least 6 teeth in each section of your mouth.
- You must have very low plaque levels at the start of the study.
- You cannot have gum pockets deeper than 4 mm or be diagnosed with gum disease.
- One of your upper front teeth must be a natural tooth, a white filling, or a ceramic veneer.

This study tests if a special 3D intraoral scanner can accurately measure dental plaque (the sticky film on your teeth) compared to traditional methods. If you have most of your natural teeth and some plaque, you may be able to join.
This study tests a compound in gum to see how well it prevents plaque buildup over 4 days. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult with at least 20 natural teeth and some existing plaque.
This study tests whether special 3D imaging and intraoral scanning tools can help dentists better identify tooth decay and plaque buildup. Researchers want to see if these new methods work well and could improve how cavities are diagnosed.
This trial uses a special camera and 3D X-ray to detect dental plaque and cavities. It may help find a faster, more accurate way to diagnose tooth decay.
This study uses imaging to look at how healthy your gums are and how much “plaque/biofilm” is in your mouth. It may help researchers better understand gum health and how oral hygiene affects it.
This study tests if a special intraoral scanner can help dentists find gum problems and tooth issues. If you have receding gums, you may be able to join.
