Review reveals favorable clinical accuracy and patient comfort with intraoral scanning over conventional impressions in prosthodontics, indicating viable digital adoption for restorative care.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness, accuracy, and workflow performance of intraoral digital scanning compared with conventional elastomeric impression techniques in prosthodontic therapy.
Synthesized scientific literature, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses comparing intraoral scanners to conventional impression techniques.
Assessed prosthodontic outcomes across single crowns, short-span bridges, implant-supported prostheses, and complete dentures for marginal fit, workflow speed, and patient-reported comfort.
Intraoral digital scanning demonstrates high accuracy and precision, achieving marginal fit and prosthetic success rates comparable to conventional elastomeric impressions for single crowns and short-span restorations.
Digital impression workflows offer superior chairside time efficiency, streamlined dental laboratory collaboration, and significantly greater patient-reported comfort over traditional tray-based impression methods.
