Summaryįurther enhancements needs to be undertaken regarding intraoral scanners to improve its accuracy regarding fabrication of full-arch restorations. However, for full-arch restorations, conventional impressions result in better accuracy. Recent Findingsĭigital impressions offer the same level of accuracy as conventional impressions regarding fabrication of crowns, fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), implant-supported crowns, and short-span FDPs with marginal gap values within the clinically acceptable range (<120 μm). This study also compared the accuracy, reliability, and ease of use of different types of intraoral scanners available and correlated the results with the different scanning technologies.
The aim was to compare the accuracy of digital intraoral impressions with conventional impressions on the fabrication of different types of restorations.
