Research Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance (degree of trueness) of a novel scan body “tooth-modified Scan body” (TMSB)& conventional scan body (CSB) in implant-supported full arch screw retained cases.

Methods

Seven edentulous arches (two maxillae, five mandibles) in 6 patients were rehabilitated with monolithic zirconia screw-retained implant prostheses supported by 4 (n = 1) and 5 implants (n = 6) for a total amount of 34 implants. Implant locations were scanned by intra-oral scanner (IOS) using two types of scan bodies, conventional scan bodies (CSB) in group (1) and tooth-modified scan bodies (TMSB) in group (2). 68 implant positions (representing the total sample size) were captured and compared to the relative reference scans regarding angular and Euclidian deviation (ΔEUC).

Results

The ΔEUC deviation Of TMSB group had lower values (M = 61.46, SD = 42.12) than that …
