About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Digital Versus Conventional Impressions Part I: Marginal and Internal Fit

This study aims to compare how a single cap best fit on a tooth that is fabricated with digital and conventional impression techniques.

Being tested
Conventional impression, Digital Scan 1, Digital Scan 2, Digital Scan 3

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Conventional impressionProcedure or surgery

    A dental impression is a negative imprint of hard (teeth) and soft tissues in the mouth from which a positive reproduction (or cast) can be form using alginate material. They are made by using a container which is designed to roughly fit over the dental arches ("trays").

  • Digital Scan 1Procedure or surgery

    Direct intra-oral digital scans using Sirona Omnicam software.

  • Digital Scan 2Procedure or surgery

    Direct intra-oral digital scans using Planmeca Planscan software.

  • Digital Scan 3Procedure or surgery

    Direct intra-oral digital scans using 3M True Definition software.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with a correctly fitted prosthesis

    Correct fit assessed by clinical assessment of internal and marginal crown fit.

    Measured: From impression stage to crown delivery, approximately four weeks. There are no follow up visits once crown is delivered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional impression, Digital Scan 1 and Digital Scan 2 in people with Dental Prosthesis, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with a correctly fitted prosthesis (time frame: From impression stage to crown delivery, approximately four weeks. There are no follow up visits once crown is delivered.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Mar 2021.
