Background: Different restoration materials have different optical characteristics that influence the intraoral scanner's (IOS) image accuracy. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate how composite translucency affected the accuracy of IOS.
Material And Methods: GC G-aenial Universal Injectable JE composite plates were used for the study at 3 thicknesses (1-2-3mm).
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the translucency of core buildup composite resins influences the accuracy of 3D images produced by an intraoral scanner (IOS) during dental procedures.
- The experiment involved scanning a 3D-printed model with different translucency levels of composite resins and comparing the results with high-accuracy industrial scans.
- Results indicated that higher translucency in composite resins led to greater inaccuracies in optical impressions, suggesting that dental practitioners must consider both the optical and mechanical properties of materials for better fitting CAD/CAM prostheses.
