NCT ID NCT04694196
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a specific spot on the jawbone, called the coronoid notch, can be used as a guide to set the occlusal (bite) plane for dentures. Forty adults with natural teeth and a normal bite had their occlusal plane measured relative to this notch. The goal is to find a stable landmark that helps dentists make dentures that fit better and work well.
