Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the size of the scanning area impacts the accuracy of implant placement using three different types of models: plaster models, digital models from intraoral scanning, and 3D-printed models.
- Methods included scanning a model with six implants and comparing data from plaster, intraoral scanning, and 3D printing to measure reproducibility in implant position.
- Results showed that larger scanning areas led to decreased accuracy; intraoral scanning and 3D printing were more reliable than plaster models, particularly when comparing implant position reproducibility.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the 3D accuracy of dentures made using an Intraoral Scanner (IOS) versus those made using traditional methods.
- - Complete dentures were created and scanned, with data analyzed using 3D software to assess the accuracy of both types of dentures.
- - Results showed that IOS copy dentures had significantly higher accuracy compared to conventional copy dentures, while no significant difference was found between maxillary and mandibular dentures.
Impact of implant superstructure type on oral health-related quality of life in edentulous patients.
Clin Implant Dent Relat Res
June 2020
Background: The effect of the type of implant superstructure on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among edentulous patients remains controversial.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the type of implant superstructure and OHRQoL.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-two completely edentulous patients who received implant fixed complete dentures (IFCDs) or implant overdentures (IODs) were administered the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire during the post-treatment maintenance period.
