ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how full-arch implant-supported prostheses (which are dental replacements for people missing all their teeth in one arch) affect lip support and facial appearance. The researchers are using advanced 3D scanning technology to measure important factors like how well the prosthesis fits and how it supports the lips. By doing this, they hope to understand how the design of these dental devices can improve a patient's facial profile and overall comfort.

To participate in this study, you need to have a full-arch implant-supported prosthesis in your upper jaw, whether it's temporary or permanent, and you should have stable bite function. Participants will be expected to follow the study protocol and attend follow-up visits. However, if you have certain conditions, like sensitivity to light or are currently undergoing other dental treatments, you may not be eligible. Overall, this study aims to gather valuable information that could enhance the design of dental prostheses and their impact on facial aesthetics.
