Phone scans vs. dental scanners: a new contender for implant impressions?
NCT ID NCT07643441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways of taking digital impressions of dental implants in people with no teeth: a professional intraoral scanner and a mobile phone-based system. Researchers will check how accurate each method is and how long it takes. The goal is to see if a simple phone can do the job well enough to save time and money.
