Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Digital scans should be able to accurately reproduce the different complex geometries of the patient's mouth. Mesh quality of the digitized mouth is an important factor that influences the capabilities of the geometry reproduction of an intraoral scanner (IOS). However, the mesh quality capabilities of IOSs and the relationship with different ambient light scanning conditions are unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to measure the impact of various light conditions on the mesh quality of differe
