Description
Summary:Aim. To study the dimensional accuracy of dentition models produced by digital and conventional methods using an experimental model and digital technologies.Materials and methods. This article presents an assessment of the dimensional accuracy of jaw models created using an Asiga Max UV 3D printer from digital images of dentition created by an iTero Cadent intraoral scanner and plaster jaw models obtained from one-stage two-layer A-silicone impressions. The DentalCAD software and the Meshlab computer program were used to study the dimensional accuracy of the as-obtained digital images. The nonparametric Wilcoxon rank test was used for statistical analysis of the obtained data.Results. It is established that jaw models made of DETAX Freeprint model UV photopolymer using an Asiga Max UV 3D printer, based on digital impressions obtained by an iTero Cadent intraoral scanner, have a greater dimensional accuracy in comparison with plaster jaw models obtained from single-stage double-layer A-silicone impressions by 31.6% with a signifi cance level p < 0.05.Conclusion. Jaw models created using an Asiga Max UV 3D printer are characterized by high dimensional accuracy as compared to plaster models.
