Implant denture fitting: digital vs traditional dental impressions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no natural teeth and need a full-arch denture supported by implants
- You are between 35 and 70 years old
- Your lower jaw (mandible) has enough bone to support at least four implants without a major bone graft
- You are able to cooperate with dental scans and x-rays
- You have no serious health conditions that affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune problems
- You have not had radiation to the head or neck, and have not taken bisphosphonate drugs
- You do not have an active mouth infection, severe teeth grinding, or a strong gag reflex that would interfere with scanning

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 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 digital and traditional methods for taking dental impressions in people who have a full arch of implants supporting a permanent fixed bridge. It aims to see which method is more accurate.
This study compares two types of dental scanners to see which one gives more accurate impressions for denture or implant planning in people with no teeth. Your participation could help improve scanning methods for edentulous patients.
This trial tests a faster digital scanning method using a special camera (photogrammetry) versus a standard intraoral scanner for making a full set of implant-supported teeth. It aims to see which method leads to fewer problems with the final restoration.
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.
