Comparing patient satisfaction with different types of digitally printed dentures
Official title: Patient Satisfaction of Intra-orally Scanned Versus Extra-orally Scanned Digitally Printed Maxillary Denture in Completely Edentulous Patients, in Vivo Study.
Run by Cairo University · NCT06846619 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests which type of digitally printed dentures—made from scans taken inside or outside the mouth—makes completely toothless patients feel more comfortable and satisfied.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are completely edentulous patients with normal facial symmetry and a cooperative demeanor.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with temporomandibular disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, neuromuscular disorders, severe psychiatric disorders, or those with Angle's class II and III skeletal relationships may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates patient satisfaction between intra-orally scanned and extra-orally scanned digitally printed maxillary dentures in completely edentulous patients. Participants will receive both types of dentures with a three-week wash-out period between each intervention. The study aims to determine which scanning method leads to better comfort, fit, aesthetics, and overall satisfaction. Satisfaction surveys will be completed after using each type of denture to gather patient-reported outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify the optimal denture scanning method, leading to improved patient satisfaction and comfort.
How similar studies have gone: While there may be studies on denture satisfaction, this specific comparison of intra-oral versus extra-oral scanning methods is relatively novel.
