Using 3D Scans to Better Detect Tooth Decay
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests new digital technologies—including a special camera called DIAGNOcam and AI software—to detect tooth decay early and accurately. If you have some cavities and healthy teeth in specific areas of your mouth, you may be eligible to help researchers improve how dentists find and diagnose tooth decay.
This study tests whether a special camera can detect early cavities (white spots) on your teeth better than a regular look after braces are removed. If you join, you'll get extra check-ups over three months, and the results may help your dentist catch problems sooner.
This study tests an AI system that helps dentists spot cavities on dental X-rays. If you have tooth decay, this may help find it more accurately and could improve future dental care.
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 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.
