Digital scanning for custom tooth attachments
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had root canal treatment on one or more teeth
- You have adequate oral hygiene (you brush and floss regularly)
- You are missing several teeth and some remaining teeth cannot support a traditional removable denture
- Your remaining teeth have gum disease but can still be saved with proper care
- You do not have severely decayed or loose teeth with poor long-term outlook
- You are healthy enough to tolerate a minor dental procedure if needed

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 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 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.
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 trial tests a fully digital method for placing dental implants in people who are missing all teeth on one or both jaws. It aims to see if the digital approach is accurate and reliable.
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.
