Accuracy of the Calibrated Framework for Intra Oral Full Arch Scan (A Cross-over Study)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Conventional Splinted Open-Tray Implant Impression: A conventional verified splinted open-tray implant impression will be performed after implant placement. Multi-unit impression copings will be splinted using dental floss and autopolymerizing resin, followed by a polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression. The master cast will be fabricated, verified, and scanned with a laboratory scanner to generate an STL file for accuracy analysis.

Intraoral Digital Scanning Using a Calibrated Framework: An intraoral digital impression will be obtained after implant placement using an intraoral scanner and a calibrated stock framework attached to implant scan bodies. The resulting STL dataset will be compared with the conventional impression using Geomagic Control X software to evaluate linear, angular, and global deviations in implant position transfer accuracy.

Study summary

This crossover clinical trial aims to compare the accuracy of conventional splinted open-tray implant impressions with intraoral digital scanning using a calibrated framework in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with full-arch implant-supported prostheses. Accurate transfer of implant positions is essential for achieving a passive fit of the prosthetic framework and minimizing biological and mechanical complications.

Twenty healthy completely edentulous patients requiring full-arch implant rehabilitation will be enrolled. Each participant will undergo both conventional and digital impression techniques following implant placement, allowing direct within-subject comparison. The conventional technique consists of a verified splinted open-tray impression, while the digital technique uses an intraoral scanner in combination with a calibrated stock framework.

The accuracy of the two impression techniques will be evaluated by superimposing the resulting STL files using Geomagic Control X software. Linear deviations in the x-, y-, and z-axes, angular deviations, and global deviations will be measured and compared. The findings of this study are expected to provide clinical evidence regarding the accuracy of calibrated framework-assisted intraoral scanning compared with the conventional impression technique for full-arch implant rehabilitation.
