New scan ladder technique tested for stronger dental implants
NCT ID NCT07662590
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well full-arch dental restorations made from monolithic zirconia hold up when placed using a special digital scanning tool called a scan ladder. Twenty-five completely edentulous patients received implant-supported restorations and were followed for one year to check for any mechanical problems or failures. The goal was to see if this digital workflow leads to fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
scan ladder (horizontal scan body device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve the fit and durability of full-arch dental implants, reducing the need for repairs or replacements.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective case series with only 25 patients and a short 1-year follow-up, so results may not apply broadly. Mechanical complications like fractures or loosening are possible.
