Influence of implant reference on the scanning accuracy of complete arch implant scans captured by using a photogrammetry system
ConclusionsImplant
reference impacted the accuracy of complete arch implant scans obtained
by using the photogrammetry system tested. However, a trueness ±precision linear discrepancy of 6 ±3 µm and an angular discrepancy of
0.01 ±0.01 degrees were measured among the groups tested; therefore, the
impact of the discrepancy measured should not be clinically
significant. Clinical ImplicationsThe
selection of the reference implant does not impact the accuracy of the
photogrammetry system tested; however, marking the implant placed on the
right and most posterior tooth location as the implant reference is
recommended to maximize the accuracy of the photogrammetry system
tested.
