The purpose was to evaluate the accuracy of traditional and digital implant level impression procedures by using three-dimensional superimposition analysis , and evaluate the passive fit of screw- retained implant supported restorations fabricated using conventional and digital impression techniques in bilateral distal extension cases (class I kennedy classification)
Eight patients who had missing all mandibular posterior teeth except first premolars were included in this study. In each patient, 4 implants were placed, 2 in each side to support 3 units screw retained zirconia restorations. Three months after implant placement, each patient underwent two implant level impression techniques (n=8) for each technique: Conventional implant impressions CII (pick-up, splinted transfers), and digital implant impressions DII were captured with TRIOS 3 Shape intraoral optical scanner. In this study, digital impression was considered as a reference data.
