Résumé

Intraoral scanners (IOSs) are based on light-optical imaging methods. However, little is known about whether the ambient light in dental practices influences the accuracy and scanning time of the IOS. The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of different illuminations on the accuracy of 4-unit and complete-arch scans of 6 IOSs. In addition, the required scanning time was evaluated. A reference structure was attached to the first premolars (P) and second molars (M) in both quadrants (L/R) of a maxillary model. The resulting measured distances were M1-P1, M2-P2, P1-P2, and M1-M2. The investigation included 6 IOSs: TRIOS 3 (TRI), Cerec Omnicam (OC), iTero Element (ITE), CS 3600 (CS), Planmeca Emerald (EME), and GC Aadva (AAD). With each IOS, 17 scans at different illuminances (100, 500, 1000, and 5000 lux) were performed (N = 408). The precision and trueness for all distances were determined, and the scanning time was recorded. For statistical analyses, the Levene tests (precision) and 1-way analysis of variance with the post hoc Tukey honestly significant difference and Games-Howell tests (trueness) were calculated. Illuminance significantly influenced the trueness of 4-unit scans for OC, EME, and AAD. TRI, OC, ITE, and CS demonstrated comparable results. AAD (>96 ±22 μm; 1000 lux) and EME (>248 ±88 μm; 500 lux) revealed greater deviations. For complete-arch scans, illuminance did not influence TRI and AAD, but significant variations were detected for ITE, CS, EME, and AAD. The least deviations were achieved with TRI and OC. The scanning time was extended for all IOSs except ITE at more than 500 lux. The shortest scanning times with OC and EME were recorded at 100 lux; with TRI, CS, and AAD at 500 lux; and with ITE at both 100 and 5000 lux. At all illuminances, the fastest scans were obtained with TRI. Ambient light was found to influence the accuracy and scanning time of IOSs. This influence varies depending on the device. For 4-unit scans, the effect was not clinically relevant, but for complete-arch scans, accuracy and scanning time can be improved with appropriate lighting.
