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.
