Could a quick digital scan replace goopy molds for dentures?

NCT ID NCT07377890

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a digital intraoral scanner can capture the shape of the mouth as accurately as the traditional border-molded impression method for making complete dentures. Ten adults who have lost all their teeth will get both types of impressions, and researchers will compare the digital scans to the conventional ones for precision and consistency. The goal is to see if the faster, less messy digital approach could be a reliable alternative.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
intraoral scanning (digital impression) and conventional border-molded impression
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that digital scanning is a reliable alternative to traditional messy impressions for making dentures, potentially improving comfort and convenience.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only measures accuracy, not long-term denture fit or patient satisfaction.
