Predicting tooth wear using advanced scanning techniques
Official title: Prediction of the Tooth Wear Index Based on a Dataset of Dental Shapes:a Retrospective Study
Run by Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT06681844 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new scanning method to see if it can help predict tooth wear early on, so people can take better care of their teeth before serious damage happens.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients with avulsed mature incisors, canines, premolars, or molars that exhibit a tooth wear index between 0 and 3.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with teeth that have a wear index over 3 or those with immature teeth or wisdom teeth will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on predicting tooth wear, which is the gradual loss of dental hard tissue due to various factors. It utilizes intraoral scanners to monitor changes in tooth shape, aiming for early detection of wear that is often overlooked until it becomes severe. The study employs a novel method called MEG-IsoQuad, which automates the remeshing process to enhance the reliability of statistical shape analysis for diagnosing tooth wear. By assessing avulsed teeth with a specific wear index, the study seeks to improve understanding and management of tooth wear.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to earlier detection and better management of tooth wear, ultimately improving patients' oral health and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of statistical shape analysis in dentistry is emerging, this specific combination of automated remeshing and shape analysis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
