ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to best record the way your upper and lower jaws fit together, which is important for creating dental restorations like crowns or bridges, especially when some teeth are missing. The researchers want to compare two different methods: one that uses an intraoral scanner, which takes pictures of your mouth, and another that uses a special device to track jaw movements. Both methods aim to help doctors create better-fitting dental work for patients who have lost support for their teeth.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, in good dental health, and have missing teeth in the upper back part of your mouth, which requires fixed dental treatment. The study is open to anyone who meets these criteria and is willing to participate after understanding what is involved. If you join, you'll help researchers learn which method works best, and you can expect to receive careful monitoring and support throughout the process.
