ESCANEAMENTO INTRAORAL X MOLDAGEM ANALÓGICA: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The use of new technologies in the dental field has increased during the execution of many clinical procedures performed by dental surgeons. Among these procedures, the most notable has been the replacement of traditional impressions with intraoral scanning. The aim of this study was to compare conventional with digital impression techniques. For the research, the databases PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar were used. A total of 32 studies were found, of which 22 met the pre established inclusion criteria. It was possible to observe the predominance of digital impressions in the majority of the articles reviewed. However, when choosing between conventional and digital traditional techniques, it was important to consider the individual needs of the patient, the skills of the dental team and laboratory, as well as clinical, technological, and economic factors. This decision was made considering the best balance between efficiency, accuracy, and quality for each specific situation.
