Angle effect on IIDD:

Angulated implants: − 20.2 ± 21.9 μm

non-angulated implants: − 37.9 ± 26.2 μm

Operator’s effect on IIDD: Experienced operator: − 30.8 ± 25.9 μm

Inexperienced operator: 13.3 ± 51.2 μm

Implant depth effect on IIDD:

Deep implants: − 34.3 ± 18.7 μm

Normal-depth implants: − 28.3 ± 29.8 μm

Angle and depth of implants did not affect trueness.Experience of operator affected on trueness.

Mean IIDD;5.38 ± 12.61 μm to − 26.97 ± 50.56 μm

Mean linear errors in 1st and 2nd quadrant;

1st quadrant: 7.6 ± 17.6 μm

2nd quadrant: − 10.3±39.2 μm

Mean IIAD: 0.16 ± 0.04 to − 0.43 ± 0.1°

Mean angle errors in 1st and 2nd quadrant;

1st quadrant: 0.21 ± 0.17°

2nd quadrant: 0.28 ± 0.16°

TDS achieves acceptable trueness. Scan body visibility, experience of operator and scan range affects trueness of DI.
