Abstract

Advances in digital technologies create the opportunity for much more predictable and safe dentistry. From the examination of the patient to the final treatment plan, digital technologies can provide a much comprehensive visualization and understanding. A key aspect for any long-lasting prosthetic restoration is the accuracy of the impression, which generates a working model (digital or conventional). The precision of digital impressions is essential to obtain high-quality restorations, as well as to obtain the predictability of the treatment. There are some challenging factors that can influence the precision of direct digital impressions, that’s why the clinician must be aware and find methods to counteract them. The main advantages of intraoral scanners are the possibility to completely replace the conventional impression, reducing the discomfort for the patient, and the overall costs of the impression materials. Switching from digital to conventional in impression technique increase the predictability, the precision, and the efficiency. From the clinician point of view, the overall working time and the effort of the dentist can be reduced, in order to obtain the most appropriate treatment outcome for every patient.
