Comparison of the accuracy of conventional impression technique and an intraoral scanning system after crown preparation in canine teeth of dogs: a cadaver study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to compare digital impressions obtained by an intraoral scanner (IOS) with the dimensions of the corresponding stone model produced from conventional impressions and the original tooth to assess the accuracy of IOS in veterinary dentistry.

Methods

In this cadaver study, 40 canine teeth of dogs underwent standard crown-preparation. For each specimen, both conventional impressions with subsequent stone model fabrication and digital impressions were obtained. The surfaces of the stone replicas and the original teeth were scanned, and the distance between the stone model surface and the original tooth surface, as well as the surface of the intraoral scan and the original tooth surface, was compared. Mean and median surface deviations were computed in m
