Özet

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and repeatability of different intraoral scanners for in vitro shade selection.

Materials and Methods: Three intraoral scanners (Trios 5, Primescan, Medit i700) and two shade guides (Vita Classic, Vita 3D Master) were used in this study. Measurements from the intraoral scanners were compared with those from a spectrophotometer. The Vita Classic shade guide contains 16 samples, while the Vita 3D Master shade guide contains 26 samples, giving a total of 42 samples. Analyses of the accuracy, precision and trueness of the values obtained were carried out. Statistical analyses of the data were performed using independent samples T-test and parametric one-way ANOVA tests

Results: As a result of the analyses performed, it was determined that the Trios 5 device had the highest accuracy rate (%75) in the Vita Classic color guide, while the Primescan device had the highest accuracy rate (%84.62) in the Vita 3D Master color guide. The Trios 5 also performed best on the Vita Classic color guide, with the lowest trueness value (0.25). In contrast, the Primescan device performed best on the Vita 3D Master color gamut with the lowest trueness value (0.15). Standard deviation analyses showed that the Trios 5 device provided higher trueness for some measurements, while the Primescan and Medit i700 devices showed similar levels of trueness.

Conclusion: When comparing the devices, the Primescan device can be considered the best scanner overall due to its high accuracy (%84.62) and low trueness value (0.15) in the Vita 3D Master, as well as its consistency in terms of repeatability. The Trios 5, on the other hand, is the scanner with the best performance (%75) in the Vita Classic color scale.
