Trueness and precision of complete denture digital impression compared to conventional impression: an study.
PeerJ
March 2025
Division of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, University of Alabama-Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States.
Background: This study aimed to compare the precision and trueness of digital impressions of the edentulous arch made with different scanners to conventional physical impressions.
Methods: A total of 40 impressions of a completely edentulous maxillary arch model ( = 10) were made using different digital impressions with an extraoral scanner, E3 3Shape desktop scanner, as the reference scan, intraoral scanner (TRIOS IOS, and Medit IOS) and Vinyl Polysiloxane impressions (VPS) impression using a Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) custom tray. The VPS impression was scanned with the desktop scanner to produce standard tessellation language (STL) files for comparison with the digital impressions made by the Desktop and intraoral scanners.
Evaluation of the Effect of Distance Between Dental Abutments on the Accuracy of One-Step and Two-Step Impression Techniques With Polyvinyl Siloxane (PVS) Material.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of distance between dental abutments on the accuracy of one-step and two-step impression techniques with polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) material.
Materials And Methods: Four master models were fabricated with different interabutment distances equal to one, two, three, and four premolar lengths 1-4 (L1, L2, L3, and L4). Seven one-step impressions were taken from each master model using PVS impression material (Group A, n = 7).

Objectives: This study evaluated the tensile bond strength of addition silicone impression material when used with custom trays featuring grooves and perforations, made from self-cure acrylic resin, visible light-cure (VLC) resin, and three-dimensional (3D) printed resin materials.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six custom trays were fabricated using self-cure acrylic resin (DPI Cold Cure), light-activated acrylic resin (Voco Individo Lux), and 3D-printed resin (Phrozen Aqua 4k). Each material group was divided into two subgroups based on retention methods: grooves and perforations.
Comparative Evaluation of the Dimensional Accuracy of Silicone-Based Putty Reline Impressions with Different Spacer Acquisition Techniques in Fixed Partial Dentures.

BACKGROUND A tooth preparation's clinical requirements and geometric configurations should take precedence over material characteristics when advocating for putty reline impression techniques for permanent restorations, since they require a technically sensitive spacer for light body elastomer. We evaluated the linear dimensional accuracy of vinyl polysiloxane-based putty reline impressions with different spacer acquisition techniques in short-span and long-span fixed partial dentures (FPD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A typodont tooth set simulated a 3-unit (short-span) and a 5-unit (long-span) FPD.

Interocclusal records (IORs) created with bite registration materials (BRMs) accurately reflect the opposing teeth's physiological and anatomical associations in digital and traditional dentistry. This study assessed the linear dimensional accuracy of vinyl polysiloxane-based scannable and transparent BRMs over obligatory clinical time intervals (1, 24, 72, and 168 h/s). A total of 3 scannable [Flexitime Bite, Occlufast CAD, Virtual CADBite] and 3 transparent [Maxill Bite, Charmflex Bite, Defend ClearBite] VPS-based BRMs were divided into 28 subgroups by time interval: 1, 24, 72, and 168 h/s.
