Effect of saliva on accuracy of digital dental implant transfer using two different materials of intraoral scan bodies with different exposed lengths
The presence of saliva significantly affects the accuracy of the digital implant transfer. Additionally, using a longer intraoral scan body improves the accuracy of digital implant impressions. The titanium scan body had a greater level of precision on the implant impression scan.
