Abstract

Amongst the modern engineering technologies which have found broad application in the field of dentistry, one of the most widely used is the 3D digitization. This paper deals with the application of 3D digitization systems in the field of dental prosthetics, and attempt to contribute in this field through comparative analysis of this kind of systems. Special attention is focused on extra oral 3D digitization systems and among them on non specialized dental 3D digitization systems. Beside the general overview and analysis of nine different systems, this paper presents experimental results of comparative accuracy analysis of two high-end 3D digitization systems – Atos II Triple Scan and Zeiss Metrotom 1500. Investigation was based on CAD inspection technique and included 3D and 2D cross sectional analysis. Results related to 3D analysis show that the majority of deviations are in positive direction, concentrated around 0,025 mm. Results of 2D analysis implicate the conclusion that the accuracy of the analysed systems is dependent on surface shape as well as on the model position during the process of 3D digitization.
