Abstrakt: Statement of Problem: The accuracy of virtual interocclusal records has been evaluated, but clinical studies comparing the clinical output to the virtual design are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the agreement between the virtual occlusal scheme designed by a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing software program and the occlusal scheme obtained clinically on the definitive prosthesis assessed with articulating paper.
Material and Methods: The virtual occlusal scheme design of 20 single monolithic crowns and their adjacent teeth was obtained by using an intraoral scanning system in 17 participants. These registrations were compared with conventional occlusal records obtained by applying articulating paper in 2 stages: first with 200-μm blue film and the second with 12-μm metallic red articulation tape. The analysis included both the quantity and the quality of the contacts of the conventional occlusal records referred to as the standard method. For accuracy analysis, virtual record sensitivity was calculated per crown as the percentage of true positive virtual contacts of the actual contacts identified by articulating paper. Specificity was also calculated as the percentage of true negative virtual contacts of the actual sites of clearance.
Results: The virtual record sensitivity was 98.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 96-100) for the crowns and 95 (95% CI 85-100) for the adjacent teeth. The virtual record specificity was 88.6 (95% CI 82.4-94.8) for the crowns and 82.6 (95% CI 77.5-87.6) for the adjacent teeth. The agreement between the clinical and virtual contact intensities on the crowns was 83 (95% CI 73-93) and 67.3 (95% CI 56-78.7) for the adjacent teeth. The positive predictive value was 72.83 (95% CI 60-86). The negative predictive value was 100% (95% CI 100-100).
Conclusions: The intraoral scanning system provided clinically sufficient sensitivity and specificity for identifying the occlusal surface contacts of monolithic crowns. A slight decrease was detected in the system's sensitivity and specificity in identifying contacts on adjacent teeth and a larger decrease identifying the intensity of these contacts.
