Brief summary

Validation of the use of a facial scanner for assessment of modifications caused by the use of dental prostheses and determination of discrepancies related to conventional measurements with digital caliper.

Detailed description

3 dimensional evaluation of lip support by the use of full arch impplant supported rehabilitations with the use of a facial scannner. Determination of discrepacies between the obtained facial scan and conventional measurements made by a digital caliper on the face.

Interventions

DEVICEFacial scanner (Bellus3D) to assess perioral alterations

Use of a digital caliper for conventional measurements and a facial scanner (Bellus3D) to analyse the modifications induced by the use of implant supported dental prostheses in the lip support

Study design

Allocation

Intervention model

SINGLE_GROUP

Primary purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Masking

NONE

Masking description

Altough it is a single arm, the obtained STL files will be identified as A and B and the outcomes assessor will not be informed which group corresponds to the patient without or with the dental prostheses.

Intervention model description

Determine the modifications caused by the use of different implant-supported dental prostheses in the soft tissues of the face, mainly upper and lower lips, by the use of a facial scanner.
