Demonstrates improved accuracy using modified reverse scan technique in abutment teeth, suggesting a cost-effective approach for prosthesis fabrication.
This article introduces a modified reverse scan technique for abutment teeth that incorporates laboratory scanners into a fully digital workflow to enhance accuracy and reduces the impact of stitching and merging errors associated with long-span intraoral scans when fabricating extensive tooth-supported prostheses. This cost-effective, time-saving, and versatile procedure uses a 3D-printed interim tooth-supported prosthesis that is sectioned, bonded intraorally, and scanned with a laboratory scanner to improve the virtual definitive cast. The modification is performed using free software.
