Comparison of scanning depth in widened root canals: An analysis of three intraoral scanners and two scanning techniques.

Statement Of Problem: Although intraoral scanners have been increasingly utilized as alternatives to conventional impression techniques, their precision in capturing the complex anatomy of prepared widened root canals, essential for post placement after endodontic treatment, remains underexplored.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the efficacy of different intraoral scanners in scanning widened root canals. The study analyzed the depth (mm) and surface area scanned (mm) and compared 2 scanning techniques.
