Can digital scanners perfectly capture the toothless jaw?
NCT ID NCT07740798
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial compares the accuracy of two different intraoral scanners (MEDIT i600 and Aoralscan) against a standard laboratory scanner when digitizing impressions of the lower jaw in people with no teeth. Participants will have impressions taken and then scanned with each device to see which one most closely matches the reference scan. The goal is to find out if these handheld scanners can reliably capture the tricky contours of an edentulous arch, which could improve the fit of dentures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Digital impression using intraoral scanners (MEDIT i600 and Aoralscan) compared to an extraoral scanner
- What this could lead to
- If one scanner proves more accurate, it could guide dentists in choosing the best digital tool for fitting dentures, potentially improving comfort and fit for people with no teeth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study with only 9 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The accuracy of scans can also vary with patient anatomy and operator skill.
