The central aim is to evaluate how different splinting material types and heights affect the accuracy and time required for scanning a completely edentulous mandible.
Evaluated different heights and types of scan body splinting materials.
Assessed scanning accuracy and duration during the scanning process.
Tested each condition on the same completely edentulous mandible model.
Some splinting materials provided significantly higher scanning accuracy than others.
Variations in material heights impacted the duration of the scanning procedure.
Optimal splinting conditions were identified that improved both accuracy and efficiency.
Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of scan body splinting material types and heights on scanning accuracy and duration for a completely edentulous mandible.
