Abstract Several capture techniques are used in intraoral optical scanners in the
dental market, such as Triangulation (Cerec Omnicam, Dentsply Sirona), Activewave front sampling (3M ESPE) and confocal technology (iTero, Align). The
accuracy of intraoral scanners is the most significant focal point for developers
to research. This
in-vitro study studied the accuracy of confocal scanners launched
from 2015-2020 (Trios 3, Trios 4, iTero Element; 3Shape Trios A/S, Copenhagen,
Denmark, and iTero Element2, and iTero Element5D; Align Technologies, San
Jose, CA, USA). A 3D printing model modified from the American National
Standard No. 132 was scanned five times…
