EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF PREPARATION TAPER, FINISH LINE AND MARGINAL CONFIGURATION ON EXTRA ORAL SCANNING IN CAD/CAM- AN IN-VITRO STUDY.

Purpose of the study: Manyauthors and some of the clinicians are of the opinionthat tooth preparation is not the same for CAD-CAM restoration. There are some manufactures who also recommend preparation taper higher degree. Based on the above notion this study was conducted whether the tooth preparation has got any bearing in the scannability of gypsum models. Aims and objectives:Theaim of the study is to scan the gypsum models using extraoral scanners. The objective of this study is to evaluate the following features of tooth preparation has any effect on scannability 1. Different preparation taper 2. Shoulder or chamfer margin 3. Plane of marginal placement Materials and methods:Six standard metal dies were prepared with a crown length 8mm, diameter 5mm out of which 1. Three dies with 30, 80, 120taper each with shoulder margin 2. Two dies with shoulder and chamfer finish line 3. One with marginal geometry in different planes Each die was duplicated 10 times and a total 60 models were obtained. The stone cast models were duplicated from the individual metal dies were scanned using extra oral model scanner INTELLIDENTIA. Results: As far as extraoral scanning is concerned, there is no significant difference in scanning regarding preparation taper, finish line and marginal configuration. Conclusion:Currently extraoral scanners are capable of producing virtual model images irrespective of preparation taper, Finish line and marginal geometry - See more at:
