New method for scanning full dental arches without teeth
This study tests a new scanning method for people who have no teeth in either jaw. It aims to see if the scan is accurate enough to use for planning dental implants, which could help you get a better-fitting set of teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.

- Have enough jawbone to support dental implants.
- Keep good oral hygiene.
- Have no serious health conditions that could affect healing.
- Do not smoke heavily, and have no history of radiation or chemotherapy to your head or neck.
