Enhancing Accuracy of Intraoral Scanning in Pediatric Dentistry

Digital impressions with intraoral scanner (IOS) systems have gained popularity in dentistry following the widespread availability of digital technology. These systems can simplify laboratory procedures, enhance communications among dental professionals, transform dental practices, and open up new possibilities beyond the capabilities of traditional analog-based dental treatment. This paper reviews current IOS systems by providing information on their imaging technology and accuracy. The key factors influencing the accuracy of IOS systems are also discussed. This review aimed to provide pediatric dentists with insights into optimizing IOS utilization and increasing accuracy in their clinical practice.
