Influence of implant scanbody material, position and operator on the accuracy of digital impression for complete-arch: A randomized in vitro trial

ConclusionsThe investigated IOS for complete-arch digital impression was influenced by the ISB material with peek reporting the best results on both linear and angular measurements followed by titanium, peek-titanium resulting as the less accurate. Implant angulation affected significantly the linear deviations while implant position the angular deviations. Operator did not show any significant effect on the IOS accuracy.
