title: In vivoevaluation of three-dimensional of volumetric changes using a CAD/CAM chair-side system: Technical procedure.
abstract: An intraoral digital scanner in combination with specialized three-dimensional surface analysis software monitors volumetric changes to soft tissues or dental restorations. This technology can evaluate the success of a specific technique or medium- or long-term clinical outcomes in both clinical and research situations. This article describes how this technology was used to provide immediate chair-side data analysis without the help of specialized laboratory support.Key words:Intraoral scanner, CAD-CAM, best fit-method, surface tessellation language.
