Abstrakt: Purpose: This pilot clinical trial aimed to investigate accuracy of intra-oral scanning (IOS) with and without artificial reference markers in capturing total, subtotal and congenital nasal defects.
Basic Procedures: Thirteen patients with 3 types of nasal defects were selected and digitally scanned using an IOS with (ScM) and without artificial markers (Sc). Patients were grouped as follows; Group T (total nasal defect), Group P (partial/subtotal nasal defect), Group C (congenital defect). Silicone impressions of the defects were made and poured to get a model that was scanned using a Desktop scanner (Imp). The standard tessellation language (STL) files obtained from IOS were registered and compared to each other using a processing software. RMS, positive and negative average values were used to report deviations between the scans. Kruskal Wallis test was used to study the effect of defect type, while Friedmann was used to study the effect of impression technique. Results were considered significant at P≤.05.
Main Findings: All deviation values showed statistically significant differences among the 3 studied nasal defects and among the 3 investigated impression techniques. The smallest deviation values were recorded in Sc-ScM of congenital defects (RMS= 0.13±0.04, +average=0.08±0.01, -average=-0.09±0.02), while the largest deviation values were recorded in IMP-Sc in the total defects (RMS= 0.38±0.05, +average=0.29±0.04, -average=-0.29±0.04).
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the nasal defect type and the use of artificial markers during scanning affect the deviation parameters of the obtained scan. The combined effect of the studied parameters calls for the use of markers in when scanning total nasal defects.
