NCT07370701

Brief Summary

Statement of the problem: Accurate digital scans of edentulous patients is challenging due to the absence of anatomic landmarks and geometric variations along the dental arch. Whether adding an auxiliary geometric device (AGD) will improve scanning is unclear. Purpose: The aim of the study is to analyze the accuracy of complete-arch digital scans of completely edentulous arches by placing auxiliary geometric device. Material and Methods: This in vivo study included patients who received complete arch screw-retained prostheses supported by 4 implants. Seven patients were randomly chosen; a dual scan protocol was performed for digital implant planning. Surgical guide and AGD were 3d printed. Three different data acquisition methods for each individual: Open tray impression digitized by extraoral scanner (EO Group), Intraoral scan by using Medit i600 with AGD (M600 Group), and Intraoral scan (CEREC Primescan; Dentsply Sirona) with AGD (PS Group). A reference model was formed to check the accuracy of these 3 data acquisitions. The framework was designed and printed for the 3 groups to be placed in the reference model to check the passivity. Passivity was tested through modified 1-screw test by measuring the marginal gap by using a digital camera (add magnification). Each framework was placed in the patient's mouth to re-check the passivity, the best one was delivered to the patient after 4 months after osteointegration of the implants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • estimate the marginal gap using digital camera

    modified single screw test to check the passivity of the 3 frameworks in both the models and in the patient's mouth by radiograph

Study Arms (3)

Open tray impression digitized by extraoral scanner (EO Group)

EXPERIMENTAL

Each framework was placed in the patient's mouth to re-check the passivity, the best one was delivered to the patient after 4 months after osteointegration of the implants.
