  • Title: Intraoral Digital Impressioning for Dental Implant Restorations Versus Traditional Implant Impression Techniques.
    Author: Wilk BL.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2015; 36(7):529-30, 532-3. PubMed ID: 26247446.
    Abstract:
    Over the course of the past two to three decades, intraoral digital impression systems have gained acceptance due to high accuracy and ease of use as they have been incorporated into the fabrication of dental implant restorations. The use of intraoral digital impressions enables the clinician to produce accurate restorations without the unpleasant aspects of traditional impression materials and techniques. This article discusses the various types of digital impression systems and their accuracy compared to traditional impression techniques. The cost, time, and patient satisfaction components of both techniques will also be reviewed.
