The session covered the most reliable analog methods that ensure high precision and predictable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n<p>The discussion then transitioned to <strong>digital impressions<\/strong> using<strong> intraoral scanners<\/strong> and <strong>digital impression posts<\/strong> from various implant systems. The speakers presented the advantages and limitations of each technique, while also sharing practical tips for improving <strong>accuracy and quality<\/strong> through the use of specific components and protocols.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photogrammetry: The New Era of Precision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A particularly captivating part of the seminar was dedicated to <strong>photogrammetry<\/strong>, a technology that promises exceptional accuracy compared to conventional impression methods. Both <strong>extraoral photogrammetry<\/strong> with <strong>MicronMapper <\/strong>and<strong> intraoral photogrammetry<\/strong> with <strong>Aoralscan by SHINING3D<\/strong> were thoroughly presented and analyzed.<br\/>A detailed comparison was made between the two approaches in terms of workflow, benefits, and potential limitations, highlighting how each can enhance the precision of digital implant workflows.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\"
