Influence of multiple use of titanium and PEEK scan bodies on scan precision after sterilization and thermal disinfection: An in vitro study

PEEK scan bodies demonstrate higher precision but may be limited by lower mechanical stability and their single-use concept. Titanium scan bodies, although slightly less precise, have proven to be mechanically robust and suitable for multiple reuses after the conducted reprocessing. Further clinical studies with extended re-processing cycles are required to confirm these findings.
