Trueness and precision of complete-arch photogrammetry implant scanning assessed with a coordinate-measuring machine
Photogrammetry technology has been used for the digitalization of multiple dental implants, but its trueness and precision remain uncertain.Scanning accuracy of nondental structured light extraoral scanners compared with that of a dental-specific scanner
Diagnostic stone casts can be digitized by using dental optical scanners based on structured light scanning technology. Nondental structured light scanning scanners could also be used; however, the accuracy of these nondental scanners remains unclear.Influence of scan body design on accuracy of the implant position as transferred to a virtual definitive implant cast
Previous studies have analyzed factors influencing intraoral scanner accuracy; however, how the intraoral scan body design affects the implant position on the virtual definitive cast is unclear.Influence of printing angulation on the surface roughness of additive manufactured clear silicone indices: An in vitro study
Vat-polymerization additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can be used to fabricate clear silicone indices for diagnostic trial restorations, interim restorations, and direct composite resin restorations. Different support parameters, including print orientation of the virtual design of the silicone index, need to be determined when a dental device is fabricated with AM. However, the optimal printing angulation for minimal surface texture remains unclear.
