Abstrakt: Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of automatic tooth finish line registration compared to manual registration with regard to various finish line configurations and dental computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Methods: Finish line registrations were performed on 15 digital tooth models with different finish line configurations (edge roundness radius = 0 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.4 mm; edge angle = 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150°) using automatic and manual methods for designing virtual copings (N = 150). The discrepancies between the registered finish line extracted from the copings and the actual finish line segmented from the digitized tooth model were measured. Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc analyses with Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05) were used to analyze the results.
Results: The finish line configurations, registration methods, and CAD software interacted with the accuracy of the registered finish line (p = 0.001). The automatic finish line registration method exhibited larger error values than the manual method, especially at high finish line edge roundness and obtuse edge angles for both EXOCAD and R2CAD software (p < 0.001). The difference in dental CAD software affected the registration accuracy in the automatic method (p < 0.001), but not in the manual method (p = 0.676).
Conclusions: Finish line registration errors may occur when the automatic registration method is applied to the indistinct edge of tooth preparation. The accuracy of the automatic finish line registration could differ according to the CAD software program.
