About this study

The aim of the study is to evaluate the digital palatal model as a possible tool of human identification.

Read the detailed description

In this research, the investigators investigate the individual characteristics of the human upper and lower dentition and palate. The investigators use digital dentistry, record the data using an intraoral scanner, and store the extracted open source file format on a secure cloud-based server. Data validation is repeated annually. By comparing the initial and control digital samples, the investigators draw conclusions about the usability of the extracted information. The aim of the study is to develop a method and data storage protocol that will allow the patient data to be used years or decades later to replace or restore lost information.

What participants receive

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

  • Intraoral scanning and data acquisitionDevice

    Intraoral scanner data acquisition, 3 scans are taken for each participant. Data will be exported from dedicated software (Planmeca, Romexis) and imported into GOM surface analysis software. Sample comparisons and sample preparation are performed here. The results are collected in excel spreadsheets and analyzed in SPSS statistical software.

What is being measured

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

  1. Deviation value between 3 human palatal scans

    The deviation value will be measured in mm between three human palatal scans of the same individual by GOM Inspection software.

    Measured: 30 second between data acquisition

  2. Deviation value among scans

    The deviation value will be measured in mm between 9 comparisons of twin siblings by GOM Inspection software.

    Measured: 30 second between data acquisition

  3. Deviation value between 2 scans

    The deviation value will be measured in mm between 2 human palatal scans of the same individual by GOM Inspection software.

    Measured: 30 second between data acquisition

  4. Deviation value between original scans and mirrored scans of the individual

    The deviation value will be measured in mm between the original human palatal scans and mirrored human palatal scans of the same individual by GOM Inspection software.

    Measured: 30 second between data acquisition

  5. Deviation value between original human palatal scans and mirrored human palatal scans of the twins

    The deviation value will be measured in mm between the original human palatal scans and mirrored human palatal scans of twin siblings by GOM Inspection software.

    Measured: 30 second between data acquisition

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraoral scanning and data acquisition in people with Identity, Body and Palate; Deformity, run by Semmelweis University at 1 site in Hungary.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 27 Apr 2022. 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 Hungary. 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. 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?

Deviation value between 3 human palatal scans (time frame: 30 second between data acquisition). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05349942, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Apr 2022.
