[A preliminary study on accuracy of implant digital impression]
1Department of Oral Implant, Shanghai Stomatological Disease Centre. Shanghai 200001, China.
Purpose:
To evaluate the accuracy of implant digital impression，in order to provide guidance in digital implant prosthesis.
Methods:
According to the requirements, 115 patients undergoing implantation were randomly selected. The implantation impression cap was placed and scanned with CBCT after esteosenesis. Oral cavity was scanned to make the 3D digital implantation model. The model data were obtained by scanning the digital resin implantation models. Based on the remaining teeth, the model data and CBCT data were matched in Nobel Clinicion software.
Results:
The implantation impression cap in the patient's CBCT was completely matched and overlapped with the digital model in all of the occlusal, coronal and sagittal planes,which meant that the position, direction and angle of the implantation in the oral cavity were exactly the same as those in the digital model made by oral scanning.
Conclusions:
3D digital resin model of oral scanning printing is completely accurate and can be popularized and applied in clinic.
