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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simple mobile phone can replace expensive intraoral scanners for implant impressions, making dental care more accessible and efficient.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 42 participants. The phone-based method may not be accurate enough for all cases, and results may not apply to everyone.
