Extraoral Scanning of Implant Prosthetic Components under Difficult Conditions Using a Transfer Device
Source abstract
Abstract
Obtaining an extremely precise virtual model is decisive for the final success of prosthetic restorations on implants using CAD–CAM technology. Intraoral digital implant impression can be challenging under specific conditions (e.g., narrow spaces, lack of visibility, or subgingival margins) because sometimes the scan body does not reach an optimal supragingival level so that it can be scanned accurately. We propose an easy and quick solution, which uses an extraoral transfer device that requires minimum time and cost investment.
