Splinting dental implant impression copings improves accuracy. Direct impression techniques showed no significant difference in accuracy, but splinting is beneficial for precise results.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Accurate impressions are crucial for successful dental implant restorations.
  • Various impression techniques exist, each with potential for error.
  • The role of splinting impression copings requires further evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of splinting on the accuracy of dental implant impressions.
  • To compare the accuracy of indirect, direct unsplinted, direct splinted, and direct splinted-sectioned-re-splinted impression techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A master model with two fixtures was used.
  • Twenty impressions were made using four techniques: indirect, direct unsplinted, direct splinted, and direct splinted-sectioned-re-splinted.

  • Splinting was performed using autopolymerizing acrylic resin (AAR).
  • Horizontal distances between fixtures were measured using a digital caliper and analyzed with one-way ANOVA.

    • Main Results:

    • The indirect technique showed significantly lower accuracy compared to direct techniques (p < 0.05).
    • No significant difference in accuracy was found among the direct impression techniques (p > 0.05).
    • The direct splinted-sectioned-re-splinted technique demonstrated higher accuracy than direct unsplinted and direct splinted techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • Splinting impression copings is beneficial for achieving accurate dental implant impressions.
    • Direct impression techniques offer comparable accuracy, but splinting enhances precision.
    • This finding supports the use of splinting in clinical practice for improved prosthetic outcomes.
