Capturing of interdental areas with digital and conventional impression systems and their impact on automatic tooth segmentation in CAD software: an in vitro study.

Researchers compared how well digital intra-oral scanners and conventional impressions captured spaces between teeth in models with gum disease, and assessed how this affected automatic tooth identification in design software. Digital scanners outperformed conventional impressions overall, though accuracy varied by scanner model and was reduced in areas with significant gum recession.
