This research aims to compare the accuracy of digitizing maxillary edentulous impressions using two different scanning methods.
Used a conventional maxillary edentulous impression for testing
Compared accuracy between desktop and intraoral scanners
Evaluated the clinical acceptability of both scanning methods
Desktop scanner provided more accurate digitization than intraoral scanner
Both scanning methods were found to be clinically acceptable
Abstract
Digitising a conventional maxillary edentulous impression with desktop scanner is more accurate than an intraoral scanner, though both seem clinically acceptable.
