Accuracy of full-arch implant scans with special scan bodies
This study tests whether a new way of scanning your dental implants (using special scan bodies) gives accurate results for making a full set of teeth. It may help improve the fit of your replacement teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have no natural teeth left in your upper or lower jaw.
- You have exactly four dental implants in that jaw, and they are stable and healthy.
- Your implants have multiunit abutments (connectors) and you either have a temporary set of teeth or are getting a permanent full-arch implant-supported set.
- You can have an intraoral scan (a small camera in your mouth) and you agree to participate by signing a consent form.

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.
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.
This study compares different scanning techniques for making dentures that attach to dental implants in the lower jaw. It aims to find the most accurate method to fit dentures comfortably.
This study tests different techniques for taking accurate impressions (molds) of your upper jaw when preparing for full-arch dental implants (a fixed bridge supported by implants). The goal is to improve the fit and success of your final implant-supported teeth.
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 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.
