Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how sterilization impacts the measurements of implants in a straight line using two different scanning methods: laboratory scanners (LBS) and intra-oral scanners (IOS).
- A 3D model was used to conduct multiple scans of a titanium intra-oral scan body (ISB) both before and after sterilization, with the results analyzed for discrepancies in measurements.
- Findings revealed that sterilization significantly increased measurement errors for most implant distances and axes, highlighting the need for further research to establish guidelines on the sterilization of ISBs.
Background: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the inter-implant distance, inter-implant axis, and intra-implant axis of three implants in a straight line by using a laboratory scanner (LBS) versus an intra-oral scanner (IOS) with two different intra-oral scan bodies (ISBs).
Methods: A 3D model was printed with internal hex implant analogs of three implants in positions 15#, 16#, and 17#. Two standard intra-oral scan bodies (ISBs) were used: MIS ISB (two-piece titanium) and Zirkonzhan ISB (two-piece titanium).
