From: Dental implant location via surface scanner: a pilot study
Dental implant location via surface scanner. a Scan bodies were connected to the implants placed in the resin mandible model; b the model was scanned with intraoral and extraoral scanners; c location component: scan body and implant were connected virtually and the implant part was simplified to a cylinder of same diameter and length; d The location component was aligned in the surface scanning image by matching the geometry of scan body; e the resulted model in (d) was aligned in the CBCT images by matching the remaining cusps in the model; f The positions located via surface scanning was compared with the position in CBCT in the software 3-matic
