Partially edentulous mandible with 2 implants (#35, 36)

Mean IIDV (Calculation: RSS);

DI: 15.6 ± 10.9 μm

CI: 13.5 ± 8.6 μm

Mean IIAV;

5-mm height abutment;

DI: 0.42 ± 0.17°

CI: 0.14 ± 0.06°

7-mm height abutment;

DI: 0.19 ± 0.09°

CI: 0.16 ± 0.09°

Longer abutment or scan body reduces angle error in DI.

The results were provided by a graph without numerical data.

Longer inter-implant distance deteriorated precision in TDS, but not in iTero and TRIOS.

The angle measurement didn’t show deterioration in precision for longer inter-implant distances in all IOSs.

No significant difference between IOSs

Difference of IOS didn't affect precision

Edentulous type affected precision in some IOSs.

Precision in partially edentulous models was better than fully edentulous models except TRIOS 3.

Precision was different among IOSs.

Linear error was bigger in larger edentulous space.

Linear relationship between the errors and inter-implant distance was detected for TDS and CS3600.

Some scanners are not suitable for DI in full-arch implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis.

Significant difference between IOSs

Difference of IOS and impression range and their interactions were statistically significant.

Precision of the IOSs were comparable with dental laboratory scanner in a limited range.

Precision of IOS deteriorated as the ROI expanded
