Digital jaw tracking for full-arch maxillary implant restorations
Official title: Jaw Tracking Impact on Occlusion and Patient Outcomes in Maxillary Implant Restorations: Randomized Clinical Trial
Run by Mansoura University · NCT07693946 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This randomized trial tests whether using digital jaw tracking to guide the fabrication of full-arch maxillary implant-supported prostheses improves occlusal accuracy and patient satisfaction compared with a conventional workflow.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 50–70 with a completely edentulous maxillary arch opposing natural dentition and good oral hygiene.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with systemic conditions affecting bone healing or poor compliance may not benefit from the digital workflow.

What this trial studies
In this randomized study, twenty adults with complete upper jaw tooth loss opposite natural lower teeth are assigned to a conventional workflow or a digital jaw-tracking workflow for fabricating screw-retained full-arch maxillary restorations. Occlusal accuracy will be measured with the OccluSense system, and patient satisfaction will be assessed with a visual analog scale after placement and during follow-up. The goal is to see if digital jaw tracking offers better bite relationships and more favorable patient-reported outcomes. The study compares dynamic jaw tracking and virtual articulation against static jaw relation records. Lead site is Mansoura University, with a focus on improving restorative workflow for edentulous patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience more accurate occlusion and higher satisfaction with full-arch implant restorations.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work has explored digital occlusal analysis, with mixed but growing evidence supporting improved precision and patient-perceived outcomes.
