Measuring plaque on teeth and dental work with a 3D scanner
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D scanner to measure plaque on natural teeth, tooth-colored fillings, and ceramic veneers. It aims to see how well the scanner works compared to standard methods, which could help improve dental care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether a special dental scanner and 3D X-rays can find plaque and cavities better than a regular check-up. If you join, you'll help improve how dentists detect tooth decay early.
This study tests a new 3D scanner that takes detailed pictures of your teeth to help make dental crowns. It may be more comfortable than traditional methods.
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.
