Digital vs. goo: which dental mold wins for toothless patients?
NCT ID NCT07190820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares the accuracy of digital scans versus traditional putty impressions for making dental implants in people with no teeth. About 24 adults aged 30-80 who need full-arch implant-supported bridges will participate. Researchers will check how well the metal framework fits using vision and touch tests.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 30-80 years (inclusive) with no gender restriction. * Patients who will receive a full-arch one-piece implant-supported fixed * permanent restoration in the maxilla or mandible. * Patients with osseointegrated implants after surgery. * Patients voluntarily participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with insufficient interarch space in the posterior region for impression coping placement. * Patients with minimal inter-implant distance may prevent impression coping installation. * Patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are unable to maintain prolonged mouth opening for impression procedures. * Other conditions deemed ineligible for inclusion by the investigator.
