  1. The same symbol after SD indicates differences in trueness between scanner pairs (Tukey-adjustment for multiple comparison). Minimum significant difference across scanners: 7.3 μm, 6.6 μm, 16.8 μm for single crown (SC), partial prosthesis (PP) and full arch (FA), respectively. 1p-value testing the interaction between scanner and context (SC vs. PP vs. FA) from non-parametric, Kruskall-Wallis test. A p-value > 0.05 indicates no difference in scanner trueness according to the context
