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
