Accuracy of the evaluation of implant position using a completely digital registration method compared with a radiographic method

ConclusionsThe precision of the digital registration method could be accepted in clinical applications. No significant difference was found between the digital registration method and the radiographic method in evaluating the clinical accuracy of the implant position. The digital registration method was able to control and minimize the alignment errors produced during data processing.Clinical ImplicationsThe digital registration method appears to be a practical technique for evaluating the accuracy of the implant position. The new method avoids a secondcomputerized tomography scan and provides advantages over theradiographic method.
