Digital face scans could speed up dental crown fittings
NCT ID NCT05471024
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a digital face scan to position a dental model saves time and reduces material removal when fitting a single crown, compared to digitizing a conventional articulator mount. Thirty-three adults needing a crown on a molar participated. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer adjustments during the crown delivery appointment.
