Using intraoral scanners to diagnose dental and periodontal diseases
Official title: Digital Extraction and Scientific Visualization of Clinical Characteristics From 3D Data From Intraoral Scanners for Dental and Periodontal Pathologies Research : Computer Formalization and Feasibility Study
Run by CHU de Reims · NCT06006429 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether using a special 3D scanner can help dentists diagnose tooth and gum diseases more accurately and quickly than traditional methods for patients with gum issues.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults consulting the Dental Care Service at the university hospital of Reims who have at least one gingival recession.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, undergoing orthodontic treatment, or unable to understand the study's requirements 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 study investigates the effectiveness of intraoral scanners in diagnosing dental caries and periodontal diseases. Patients with at least one gingival recession will undergo a clinical examination and have a 3D impression of their mouth taken using the scanner. The study aims to compare the precision and time efficiency of this technology against traditional clinical examination methods. Secondary objectives include evaluating various dental indices through both clinical and numerical methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses of dental and periodontal diseases, improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of intraoral scanners is becoming more common, this specific application for automated disease detection is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
