Precision of Three Different Scanbodies Used for Direct Digitalization Technique

Precision of Different Scanbodies Used for Direct Digital Impression in Fabrication of Implant Supported Fixed Prosthesis: A Methodologic Clinical Study

The goal of this clinical trials to evaluate precision of different scanbodies in same participant group. The main guestion it aim to answer is:

1. Are the precision of the three different scanbodies used in direct digitalization the same for the produce of implant-supported prostheses?

Participants are healty and have short edentulous span in posterior region that will receive implant-supported prostheses.

Twenty-five patients receiving two implant supported restorations in treatment of short-span partial edentulism were enrolled into the study. Three different scanbodies, original, non-original and generic, were employed for direct digitalization technique. Full contour PMMA restorations were CAD/CAM fabricated from each digital record, and were evaluated in terms of implant fit, axial- and occlusal-contact. Additionally, patient's impressions for digitalization and delivery procedures were recorded using a visual analog scale. Scanbody scan recordings were subjected to reverse engineering for analytical evaluation of 3D virtual implant positioning.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Be willing to voluntarily participate in the study after reading the informed consent form.
• Adult patient over 18 years of age who has completed growth and development
• Partial edentulism in the functional region for a two-implant-supported restoration with two or three occlusal members
• Having a fixed dentition in the opposing arch
• The occlusal relationship between the jaws does not require vertical and horizontal prosthetic treatment.
• Having bone-level implants placed with "straightforward" surgery according to the SAC classification system [248] and without advanced surgical technique

Exclusion Criteria:

• Not voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study after reading the informed consent form
• Having one or more of the conditions for which implant treatment is strictly contraindicated (patients who have received radiation therapy, bone cancer, metabolic disorders)
• Having systemic (steroid therapy, uncontrolled diabetes, immunological disorders, pregnancy) risk factors for implant treatment
• Having local (periodontal discomfort, bruxism, poor oral hygiene) risk factors for implant treatment
