Influence of different dental scenarios on the accuracy of computerized optical impressions: an in vitro pilot study
Accurate dental impressions are vital for the proper fit of prosthetic restorations. This study highlights that scenarios with less edentulous areas and simpler preparation designs yield better accuracy. Clinicians should be mindful that large edentulous areas and complex preparations can pose challenges for intraoral scanners, requiring careful scanning strategies to mitigate potential inaccuracies.
