3D scanners reveal where plaque hides on teeth and dental work

This study will use a 3D intraoral scanner to measure plaque buildup on natural teeth, composite fillings, and ceramic veneers in 45 healthy adults. Participants will stop brushing for 4 days to allow plaque to accumulate, then undergo scanning and plaque scoring. The goal is to see how well the 3D method compares to traditional plaque scoring and to identify which surfaces retain the most plaque.
