Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the relative accuracy of digitized stone models of lower full arch, using two different scanning system.
Methods: Replica stone models(N=20) were produced from lower arch acrylic model. Twenty digital models were made with the white light and blue LED(Medit , Korea) scanner. Two-dimensional distance between the landmarks were measured on the Delcam CopyCAD (Delcam plc, UK). Independent samples t-test was applied for comparison of the groups. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software package (Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows, version 12.0).
Results: The absolute disagreement between measurements made directly on the two different scanner- based dental digital models was 0.02~0.04mm, and was not statistically significant(P>0.05).
Conclusion: The precision of the blue LED optical scanner was comparable with the digitization device, and relative accuracy was similar. However, there still is room for improvement and further standardization of dental CAD technologies.
