Implant cases require a higher level of precision.
Poor capture of scan bodies can lead to positional errors and affect the fit of the final prosthesis. These errors may be small but clinically significant.
Patient-related factors also influence the outcome.
Saliva, patient movement, tongue interference, or complex anatomy can make scanning more difficult and affect data quality.
How to avoid it
Ensure full visibility of the scan body
Avoid movement during capture
Check the scan before finishing
Control moisture
Use proper tissue retraction
Conclusion
In implant and complex cases, controlling the clinical environment is essential.
