Objective: To provide a scientific basis for the standardized operation of clinical disinfection by comparing and analyzing the influence of disinfection times on the accuracy of digital intraoral scanning. Methods: The author prepared 10 brand-new intraoral scanning heads (Trios, 3Shape, Denmark), scan the same plaster standard dentition model after 1, 20, 40, and 60 times of pressure steam sterilization, and obtained the data of four groups of experimental groups A, B, C, D, and scan the model 5 times repeatedly after each disinfection cycle of each scanning head. A model scanner (D2000, 3Shape, Denmark) was used to scan the standard dentition model, and the scan results were used as the control group data. Vernier calipers and measurement software were used to measure the arch length (the distance between the mesial cheek tips of the first molars on both sides of the maxillary) and the front and back length (the distance from the tongue protrusion of the right incisor to the buccal tip of the first molar on the right of the upper jaw) of the plaster model and the data of the 4 experimental groups. The line distance results of the 4 groups of experimental groups were compared for statistical analysis, and the trueness and precision values of the 4 groups of experimental groups were compared for statistical analysis. Results: The length of the arch across the 4 experimental groups increased with the increase in the number of disinfection (P<0.05), and there were statistical differences compared with the measurement results of the plaster model (P<0.05); the differences in the length of the dental arch were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The treness of the 4 experimental groups is statistically significant (P<0.05), and the trueness was from high to low in order of group A [(114.85±3.75) μm], group B [(124.65±3.85) μm], group C [(131.45±3.04) μm] and group D [(144.64±3.34) μm]; the precision of the 4 experimental groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions: The number of times of pressure steam sterilization can affect the accuracy of the scanning results of the digital intraoral scanner, and with the increase of the number of sterilizations, the error of the scanning results also tends to increase. The number of sterilizations has no effect on the repeatability of the digital scanning results. The increase in the number of times of pressure steam sterilization affects the accross of the arch but has no effect on the length of the dental arch, and the range of change of the length of the arch is within the clinically acceptable range. After 60 times of pressure steam sterilization, the accuracy of digital scan data can still meet clinical needs.
目的： 比较分析高压蒸汽灭菌次数对口内扫描仪扫描精度的影响，为临床消毒规范化操作提供依据。 方法： 选择10个未经使用的口内扫描仪（Trios，3Shape，丹麦）扫描头，经1、20、40、60次高压蒸汽灭菌后扫描同一标准牙列石膏模型，获得灭菌1、20、40、60次组数据，每个扫描头每次灭菌循环后重复扫描模型5次。使用模型扫描仪（D2000，3Shape，丹麦）扫描标准牙列石膏模型，将扫描数据作为对照组。用游标卡尺及测量软件分别测量石膏模型和4个灭菌组模型跨弓长度（上颌双侧第一磨牙近中颊尖的距离）和牙弓前后长度（上颌右侧中切牙舌隆突至上颌右侧第一磨牙颊尖的距离）。用单因素方差分析比较4个灭菌组数据测量结果分别与石膏模型测量结果的差异；将所有扫描数据导入Geomagic Studio 2013软件中，比较灭菌组和对照组结果的三维偏差，将拟合对齐后得到的均方根估计值作为正确度，将每个灭菌组中每个扫描头重复测量结果的标准差作为精密度，用方差分析比较4个灭菌组正确度值和精密度值差异。 结果： 4个灭菌组跨弓长度随着灭菌次数的增加而增加，与石膏模型的差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）；牙弓前后长度与石膏模型的差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。两两比较显示，4个灭菌组正确度差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05），正确度由高至低依次为灭菌1次组［（114.85±3.75） μm］、灭菌20次组［（124.65±3.85） μm］、灭菌40次组［（131.45±3.04） μm］和灭菌60次组［（144.64±3.34） μm］；4个灭菌组精密度差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。 结论： 高压蒸汽灭菌次数可影响口内扫描仪扫描结果的正确度，且随着灭菌次数的增加，扫描的误差也呈增大趋势，灭菌次数对扫描的可重复性无影响。经高压蒸汽灭菌60次后口内扫描数据精度仍可满足临床需要。.
