Accuracy of intraoral scans in the mixed dentition: a prospective non-randomized comparative clinical trial.

Objective: In-vivo accuracy of intraoral scans of complete mixed dentitions of patients in active treatment have not yet been investigated. The aim was to test the hypothesis that dimensional differences between intraoral scans and conventional alginate impressions in the mixed dentition are clinically irrelevant.

Methods: Trial design: Prospective non-randomized comparative clinical trial.
