Abstract
Statement of problem
Although in vitro studies have investigated the accuracy of virtual interocclusal records, clinical research on their ability to register virtual dental casts accurately is lacking. Purpose
The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the virtual interocclusal records of an intraoral scanning system compared with conventional polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) interocclusal records. Material and methods
Three conventional interocclusal records followed by 3 virtual interocclusal records per side per participant were made in 10 participants. Three sites of close proximity (SCP) and 3 sites of clearance (SC) per side per participant were identified on the transilluminated conventional interocclusal PVS records for a total of 60 SCP and SC. The presence or absence of these sites on the virtual interocclusal records was analyzed by using an independent software program. Results
The sensitivity for correct identification in the virtual interocclusal record was 87%, and its specificity was 95%. The positive predictive value was 95%, and the negative predictive value was 88%. For reproducibility, 74% of the SCP were detected consistently for all 3 repeated scans, and 92% of the SCs were identified accurately. Conclusions
The accuracy of virtual interocclusal records in identifying interocclusal contacts is clinically acceptable. However, the method tends to miss interocclusal contacts rather than introducing false ones and can result in perforations between the opposing virtual casts. Repeated buccal occlusal scans made of the same side showed fair reproducibility, and this aspect would benefit from further investigation.
