Effects of Three‐Dimensional Print Offsets of Sleeves on Implant Placement Trueness: An In Vitro Study
Print offsets of sleeves had a significant effect on the ease of installation and the placement accuracy of sleeves and implants. Under the printer and sleeves conditions used in this experiment, smaller offsets (0.02 and 0.04 mm) caused installation difficulties and misalignments. Larger offsets (0.10 mm) created noticeable deviations. Sleeve offsets of 0.06 and 0.08 mm provided a balance between ease of installation and high placement trueness, making them more suitable in this experiment. Excessive or insufficient print offsets of sleeves can affect installation conditions and positional trueness of sleeves and implants.
