Which scan makes implant dentures fit best?
NCT ID NCT07740265
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests three different ways of taking digital impressions for lower jaw implant-supported dentures in people with no natural teeth. Each participant gets scanned with all three methods to see which one gives the most accurate implant positions and best fit. The goal is to find a technique that reduces errors and improves how well the denture attaches.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Three intraoral scanning techniques: splinted scan bodies, horizontal non-calibrated scan bodies (IO Connect), and auxiliary geometric devices
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves more accurate, it could improve the fit and comfort of implant-supported dentures, reducing the need for adjustments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small crossover study with only 7 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The techniques are compared for accuracy, but clinical outcomes like long-term implant success are not directly measured.
