Dental Impression Techniques clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT05032170 Completed - Jaw, Edentulous Clinical Trials

Intraoral Scanning Accuracy in the Edentulous Mandible

Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Today, tooth- or implant-supported single crowns and short-span fixed partial dentures can be fabricated on the basis of an intraoral scan, but the scanning accuracy decreases with increasing length of the jaw section to be captured. An accurate scan is also made more difficult by edentulous jaw sections, as these provide the scanner with few landmarks for proper three-dimensional image composition. With respect to both edentulous and edentulous patients with dental implants, the currently available literature does not provide a firm basis for deciding whether such patients can already be scanned with sufficient accuracy. It is considered problematic in this context that the findings on digital impression accuracy, regardless of whether teeth or implants have been scanned, are based almost exclusively on the results of in vitro studies. Conclusions about the accuracy of intraoral scanners under clinical conditions with moving patients and limited accessibility to the structures to be imaged, especially in the presence of blood, saliva or sulcus fluid, are extremely limited based on these data. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the clinical scanning accuracy of two current intraoral scanning systems for the three-dimensional acquisition of the position of two interforaminal dental implants in the edentulous mandible. The influence of artificial landmarks to achieve increased scan accuracy will also be tested.
