Digital vs. goo: which dental method do kids prefer?
NCT ID NCT07179146
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to measure children's dental arches: the traditional method using gooey impressions and a new 3D digital scanner. Twenty healthy kids aged 7-11 had both methods done, and researchers compared the measurements and how comfortable each child felt. The goal was to see if the digital method is as accurate and more pleasant for kids.
