New system to capture dental impressions for complete arch restorations
Official title: The Use of a New Stereophotogrammetry System to Capture Intra-operative Complete-arch Impression
Run by University of Rome Tor Vergata · NCT06745232 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way to take dental impressions for patients getting complete arch restorations to see if it can improve the fit and comfort of their temporary dental prosthetics.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 18 and older with specific bone dimensions and conditions suitable for implant placement.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant medical or psychiatric conditions, untreated periodontitis, or those undergoing certain therapies may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients requiring complete arch restorations using a dynamic navigation system for implant placement. After the implants are positioned, a novel stereophotogrammetry system will be employed to accurately capture the implant positions, facilitating the delivery of a fixed screw-retained interim prosthesis. The study aims to improve the precision of dental impressions, potentially enhancing patient outcomes in prosthetic dentistry.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate dental impressions and improved prosthetic outcomes for patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of stereophotogrammetry in dental applications is emerging, this specific approach has not been widely tested in prior studies.
