Can Dental Office Lighting Intensity Conditions Influence the Accuracy of Intraoral Scanning?

Figure 5

Diagram illustrating mesh comparison order to obtain trueness values and precision values. The center column displays the names of the STL files and subsequent meshes that were analyzed. The colored lines suggest the comparisons executed between the meshes. In order to obtain the numerical data for trueness, each mesh was compared with the reference scan mesh (as shown in the right section of the figure). In order to obtain the numerical data for precision, each mesh was compared within its group of similar light intensity (as shown in the left section of the figure).
