Evaluation of the effect of implant scan body materials, alignment, exposed heights, and inter-scan body distances on the accuracy of digital implant impressions.

An accurate digital impression of the scan body is essential to replicate the actual implant position in the software program. However, studies analyzing the scanning accuracy using different scan body materials, angulations, exposures, and inter-scan body distances are scarce. The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of scan body materials, alignment, exposed heights, and inter-scan body distances on the accuracy of digital impressions.<br>
