Detection of misfits at the abutment-crown interface: comparison between stationary intraoral tomosynthesis and periapical radiography acquired with different vertical angulations
s-IOT provides additional bucco-lingual information; however, PA demonstrated comparable diagnostic accuracy in detecting misfits at the abutment-crown interface, while exposing patients to lower radiation doses. Additionally, when ideal parallelism cannot be achieved, directing the X-ray beam toward the implant apex, rather than the prosthetic crown, may optimize misfit detection.
