The accuracy of digital scanners versus conventional impression in patients with cleft lip and palate: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

As the use of digital models has expanded across numerous fields, the accuracy of three-dimensional images captured by various intraoral scanners has become a key research focus. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of digital scanners (TRIOS 4, iTero Element 5D, and E2) compared with the conventional impression method (gold standard) in patients with cleft lip and palate.

Materials and methods

Impressions were taken from 20 patients using these scanners and alginate impressions during the same session. Additionally, plaster models were created and scanned using an E2 scanner, and 50 parameters were measured using a digital caliper. All digital models were then analyzed using 3Shape software. Measurement reliability and differences among the fo
