Comparison of dental surface of canine teeth in dogs after crown preparation using CBCT-based surface reconstruction or conventional dental impression materials
Both CBCT protocols produced deviations comparable to plaster models in this in-vitro single-tooth setup. Higher-resolution CBCT improved accuracy, but all CBCT datasets remained within clinically acceptable ranges. CBCT may represent a feasible alternative for digital impressions in veterinary prosthodontics, though radiation exposure and clinical applicability must be considered.
