About this trial
This prospective comparative clinical study evaluated the accuracy and chairside time of complete-arch implant scans obtained using an intraoral photogrammetry system and a mobile-phone-based photogrammetry system in edentulous patients rehabilitated with complete-arch implant-supported prostheses. Implant positions recorded by each system were compared with a reference dataset to assess linear and angular discrepancies. The chairside time required for data acquisition was also measured. The study aimed to determine whether mobile-phone-based photogrammetry can provide clinically acceptable accuracy comparable to that of intraoral photogrammetry while improving clinical efficiency. The findings may help clinicians select appropriate digital impression techniques for complete-arch implant rehabilitation.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults aged 18 years or older.
Completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with implant-supported complete-arch prostheses.
Presence of at least four osseointegrated implants in the edentulous arch.
Patients able to undergo digital implant scanning procedures.
Disqualifiers
Patients with unstable or failed implants.
Presence of peri-implant disease, active oral infection, or significant soft-tissue inflammation around the implants.
Inadequate access for placement of photogrammetry scan bodies or markers.
Patients with conditions that prevent proper scanning procedures (e.g., inability to maintain mouth opening or remain still during data acquisition).
