Popis: Various test objects, plaster models, partially equipped with extracted teeth and pig jaws representing various clinical situations of tooth preparations were used for in-vitro scanning tests with an experimental intra-oral scanning system based on chromatic-dispersive confocal technology. Scanning results were compared against data sets of the same object captured by an industrial μCT measuring system. Compared to μCT data an average error of 18 – 30 μm was achieved for a single tooth scan area and less than 40 to 60 μm error measured over the restoration + the neighbor teeth and pontic areas up to 7 units. Mean error for a full jaw is within 100 – 140 μm. The length error for a 3 – 4 unit bridge situation form contact point to contact point is below 100 μm and excellent interproximal surface coverage and prep margin clarity was achieved.
