U.S., April 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07513792) titled 'The Impact of a 3D Imaging Tool on Reducing Gum Recession During Orthodontic Treatment With Aligners' on Feb. 03.
Brief Summary: This study investigates whether using 3D imaging technology (Cone Beam Computed Tomography or CBCT) for orthodontic treatment planning with aligners can reduce the risk of gingival recession in adult patients seeking dental arch expansion. Many aligner treatments involve expanding the dental arches to address issues like crowding and "black corridors," but this can sometimes lead to gum recession.
The research compares two groups of patients: one group will have their treatment planned using CBCT, which a...
