Influence of scanbody design and intraoral scanner on the trueness of complete arch implant digital impressions: An in vitro study.

This study aimed to compare the accuracy of full-arch digital implant impressions using seven different scanbodies and four intraoral scanners. A 3D-printed maxillary model with six implants and their respective multi-unit abutments was used for this study. Seven scanbodies (SB1, SB2, SB3, SB4, SB5, SB6, and SB7) and four intraoral scanners (Primescan®, Omnican®, Trios 3®, and Trios 4®) were assessed.

Physical and mechanical properties of four 3D-printed resins at two different thick layers: An in vitro comparative study.

Objectives: This in vitro comparative study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of four 3D-printed resins with two different thickness layers.

Methods: Four printed resins (VarseoSmile Crown Plus, VSC; NexDent C&B MFH, MFH; Nanolab 3D, NNL; and Resilab 3D Temp, RSL) were printed with 50 µm and 100 µm layer thickness, resulting in 80 bars measuring 25 × 2×2 mm. The specimens underwent a Raman spectroscopy for degree of conversion, confocal laser scanning microscopy for surface roughness (Sa), three-point bending test for flexural strength and elastic modulus, and a Vickers hardness test (VHN).
