Accuracy of the Calibrated Framework for Intra Oral Full Arch Scan (A Cross-over Study)

30 september 2026 uppdaterad av: Noor Elhoda Alkhalil, Mansoura University

Accuracy of the Calibrated Framework for Intraoral Full-Arch Scanning Compared With Conventional Splinted Open-Tray Impression in Edentulous Patients: A Crossover Clinical Trial

This crossover clinical trial aims to compare the accuracy of conventional splinted open-tray implant impressions with intraoral digital scanning using a calibrated framework in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with full-arch implant-supported prostheses. Accurate transfer of implant positions is essential for achieving a passive fit of the prosthetic framework and minimizing biological and mechanical complications.

Twenty healthy completely edentulous patients requiring full-arch implant rehabilitation will be enrolled. Each participant will undergo both conventional and digital impression techniques following implant placement, allowing direct within-subject comparison. The conventional technique consists of a verified splinted open-tray impression, while the digital technique uses an intraoral scanner in combination with a calibrated stock framework.

The accuracy of the two impression techniques will be evaluated by superimposing the resulting STL files using Geomagic Control X software. Linear deviations in the x-, y-, and z-axes, angular deviations, and global deviations will be measured and compared. The findings of this study are expected to provide clinical evidence regarding the accuracy of calibrated framework-assisted intraoral scanning compared with the conventional impression technique for full-arch implant rehabilitation.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

The passive fit of full-arch implant-supported prostheses is a critical factor influencing the long-term success of implant rehabilitation. Because dental implants lack a periodontal ligament, inaccuracies in transferring implant positions may result in framework misfit, leading to biological and mechanical complications such as screw loosening, component fracture, or implant failure. Conventional splinted open-tray impressions are considered the reference standard for full-arch implant impressions; however, they are technique-sensitive, time-consuming, and susceptible to material distortion and operator-related errors.

Advances in digital dentistry have enabled the use of intraoral scanners for implant impressions. Nevertheless, complete-arch digital scanning remains challenging because cumulative stitching errors may reduce scanning accuracy. The use of a calibrated framework has recently been proposed to improve the accuracy of complete-arch intraoral scanning by providing stable geometric reference points during image acquisition. Although promising, clinical evidence comparing this technique with the conventional splinted open-tray impression technique remains limited.

The purpose of this crossover clinical trial is to compare the accuracy of conventional splinted open-tray impressions and intraoral digital scanning using a calibrated framework in completely edentulous patients receiving full-arch implant rehabilitation.

Twenty healthy completely edentulous patients will be recruited. Following implant placement, each participant will undergo both impression techniques. The conventional workflow will consist of a verified splinted open-tray implant impression, while the digital workflow will involve intraoral scanning using a calibrated stock framework attached to implant scan bodies. STL datasets obtained from both techniques will be analyzed using Geomagic Control X software. The digital models will be superimposed to assess linear deviations along the x-, y-, and z-axes, angular deviations, and global three-dimensional deviations. The results will be statistically analyzed to determine whether the calibrated framework-assisted digital workflow provides transfer accuracy comparable to or greater than the conventional impression technique.

Aktiv komparator: Conventional Splinted Open-Tray Impression

Participants will undergo a conventional verified splinted open-tray implant impression following implant placement. Impression copings will be splinted using dental floss and autopolymerizing resin, and a polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression will be made. The resulting master cast will be digitized using a laboratory scanner to generate an STL file for accuracy assessment.
