The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of implant scanbody (ISB) wear on the accuracy of digital impression for complete-arch. A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) edentulous mandibular model with four internal hexagonal interlocking conical connections was scanned with an extraoral optical scanner to achieve a reference file. Four cylindrical polyetheretherketone (PEEK) ISBs were scanned 30 times with IOS, and the test files were aligned to the reference file with a best-fit algorithm. For each analog linear (Delta X, Delta Y and Delta Z-axis) and angular deviations (Delta ANGLE) were assessed. Euclidean distance (Delta EUC) was calculated from the linear deviation, reporting a mean of 82 mu m (SD 61) ranging from 8 to 347 mu m. Delta ANGLE error mean was 0.33 degrees (SD 0.20), ranging from 0.02 to 0.92 degrees. From a multivariate analysis, when Delta EUC was considered as a response variable, a significant influence of ISB wear by scan number in interaction to position for implant 3.6 was identified (p < 0.0001); when Delta ANGLE was considered as a response variable, a significant effect of position 3.6 was recorded ((p < 0.0001). The obtained results showed that the ISB wear negatively influenced the accuracy of IOS, suggesting that ISB base wear could be detrimental for the seating of ISBs on angulated implants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of implant scanbody (ISB) wear on the accuracy of digital impression for complete-arch. A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) edentulous mandibular model with four internal hexagonal interlocking conical connections was scanned with an extraoral optical scanner to achieve a reference file. Four cylindrical polyetheretherketone (PEEK) ISBs were scanned 30 times with IOS, and the test files were aligned to the reference file with a best-fit algorithm. For each analog linear (Delta X, Delta Y and Delta Z-axis) and angular deviations (Delta ANGLE) were assessed. Euclidean distance (Delta EUC) was calculated from the linear deviation, reporting a mean of 82 mu m (SD 61) ranging from 8 to 347 mu m. Delta ANGLE error mean was 0.33 degrees (SD 0.20), ranging from 0.02 to 0.92 degrees. From a multivariate analysis, when Delta EUC was considered as a response variable, a significant influence of ISB wear by scan number in interaction to position for implant 3.6 was identified (p < 0.0001); when Delta ANGLE was considered as a response variable, a significant effect of position 3.6 was recorded ((p < 0.0001). The obtained results showed that the ISB wear negatively influenced the accuracy of IOS, suggesting that ISB base wear could be detrimental for the seating of ISBs on angulated implants.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
