  2. 1. In Vivo Accuracy and Precision in Prosthodontics

    Author : Robert Nedelcu; Andreas Thor; Ingela Nyström; Pontus Olsson; Per Vult von Steyern; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; accuracy; precision; in vivo; digital impression; intraoral scanner; polyether impression; implant impression; framework misfit; fully edentulous; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: There has been a dramatic increase in commercially available intraoral scanners (IOS) in the last decade, offering to replace indirect digitization of models (MOD) fabricated from impressions (IMPR). IOS has benefits of less patient discomfort and a faster workflow to fabricate fixed dental prosthesis (FDP), and implant-supported prostheses (IFD). READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The use of osseointegrated titanium implants has become a widely accepted method to obtain retention for prosthetic reconstructions of partially dentate and edentulous patients. A range of c1inical long-term studies have been conducted to collect information on the numbers of surviving and/or successful implants for different implant systems. READ MORE
