STL Triangle Count and Trueness in Prepared Tooth Regions: Effects of Scanner System and Scanning Mode Across Intraoral, Laboratory, and Industrial Scanners.

Journal of dentistry · Kalayci HA, Alici S, Çakmak G, Yildirim H, Guncu MB · 2026-09-23

Researchers compared how 15 different scanners (intraoral, laboratory, and industrial) captured prepared teeth, examining whether scanning mode and mesh triangle counts affected accuracy. Scanner type significantly influenced both mesh complexity and trueness, though scanning mode benefits varied by device.
