Can a smartphone replace a dental scanner for implant impressions?
NCT ID NCT07723404
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a smartphone-based photogrammetry system (T-Marker) can match or beat a specialized intraoral scanner with splinting bodies (IoConnect) for recording implant positions in people with full-arch dental implants. Each participant will be scanned with both methods in random order. The study measures how accurate and fast each technique is, which could help dentists choose the best digital option for implant impressions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Non-Calibrated Splinting Scan Body System (IoConnect) and Mobile Phone-Based Photogrammetry System (T-Marker)
- What this could lead to
- If one method proves more accurate and efficient, it could simplify and improve digital workflows for full-arch dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both methods are still experimental for this use.
