New study tests digital workarounds for dental implant scanning
NCT ID NCT07466355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at different digital scanning methods for taking impressions of dental implants when the usual scanning parts are not available. Twelve adults with partial tooth loss and two dental implants took part. Researchers compared three digital workflows to see which gave the most accurate 3D position of the implant. The goal was to find a reliable backup method for dentists.
