    Abstract:

    Objective:To compare the accuracy of three intraoral scanner-based complete arch implant impression techniques using TRIOS 3 and Aoralscan 3 intraoral scanners. Methods:A standard edentulous maxillary implant model with 6 screw-retained abutmentlevel scan bodies was constructed. The scan bodies were numbered from 1 to 6,from the right molar to the left molar area. A control group was generated by scanning the implant model using a desktop scanner. Three intraoral scanner-based scanning techniques were tested:without any scan aids,with scan aids but without calibration,and with scan aids and perform calibration. The tests were performed on 2 intraoral scanners:TRIOS 3 and Aoralscan 3. Each technique was repeated 10 times on each scanner. Scan bodies in the tested groups were superimposed onto the control group using scan bodies #1 and #2 as references to simulate the single-screw test. For each scan body,the distance between the centers of the screw-retained abutments in the test and control groups was measured to calculate trueness. The distance between the centers of the screw-retained abutments in each pair of scans within each test group was also measured to calculate precision. Trueness and precision of the 3 tested impression techniques were compared. Results:In both tested scanners,the trueness of the scanning group with scan aids(272.32 μm for TRIOS 3;240.00 μm for Aoralscan 3)was higher than that of the group without any scan aids(606.77 μm for TRIOS 3;413.78 μm for Aoralscan 3)(all P < 0.05). Furthermore,the calibration process further improved trueness(70.51% improvement for TRIOS 3;28.00 % improvement for Aoralscan 3). For precision,the scanning group with scan aids(75.60 μm for TRIOS 3;69.91 μm for Aoralscan 3)and the group with calibration (74.36 μm for TRIOS 3;79.42 μm for Aoralscan 3)outperformed the group without any scan aids(487.75 μm for TRIOS 3;160.74 μm for Aoralscan 3)(all P < 0.05). However,there was no statistically significant difference between the scanning group with scan aids and the group with calibration(P > 0.05). Conclusion:The accuracy of intraoral scanning for full -arch implant impressions can be significantly improved by using scan aids combined with a calibration process.
