Influence of scan technology on the accuracy and speed of intraoral scanning systems for the edentulous maxilla: an in vitro study.

Scanner technology had an influence on the accuracy and scan speed of the acquired intraoral scans. The Trios 3 scanner featuring the confocal acquisition technology displayed the highest trueness, precision, and longest scan time. Medit i700 IOS with triangulation acquisition concept featured the lowest trueness, precision, and fastest scan speed. There is no ideal scanner with the best combination of accuracy and scan speed.
