Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Introduction: Implants placed at variable depths may vary the amount of visible scannable surface of a scan body. Intraoral scanner technology uses advanced optical principles to record the surface of the scan body to accurately capture the implant position.
Purpose: To investigate the effect implant placement depth has on the accuracy of digital implant impressions using an intraoral scanner.
Materials & Methods: A partially edentulous gypsum master model was fabricated to allow the positioning of a single implant analog at different depths. Four groups based on the planned implant depths of 0, 3, 6 and 7mm and corresponding visibility of …
