Official title
Evaluation of a 3D-Printed Extraoral Camera Assembly for Standardization of Dental Photography:A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Overview
This study investigates whether a 3D-printed extraoral camera assembly improves the reproducibility and dimensional standardization of dental photographs compared with conventional DSLR photography using standardized settings. The assembly, serving as the index test, standardizes camera position, distance, and angle during image capture, allowing performance comparison with traditional DSLR methods under identical exposure and lighting conditions. By enhancing photographic consistency, the assembly aims to improve longitudinal periodontal records, esthetic documentation, and digital analyses, providing a non-contact, operator-independent tool for reliable visual comparisons across clinical sessions.
Primary outcome measures
- Difference between photographic and actual tooth dimensions (assembly vs standard) [Time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 weeks]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Adult volunteers aged 18-40 years.

Exclusion criteria
- Facial deformities or scars affecting the image region.
- Previous orthognathic or periodontal plastic surgery altering soft-tissue contour.
- Active dermatologic lesions or tattoos in the perioral area.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
