Dental accuracy showdown: old vs. new jaw tracking methods

NCT ID NCT07184346

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will test how accurate three different methods are for recording the jaw's natural resting position (centric relation) in 20 healthy adults. The methods include a traditional bite registration, a digital intraoral scanner, and an optical jaw tracker. Researchers will compare the precision of each technique to see which one gives the most reliable results for dental treatments like crowns or dentures.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help dentists choose the most accurate method for recording jaw position, improving dental restorations and bite alignment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures accuracy in a lab setting, not real-world treatment outcomes.
