They mainly are focused on the reproducibility of the measurements or on the validity, accuracy, trueness and precision of the scans compared with conventional materials, or on the reaction of patients to these new methods. The purpose of this study was to systematically review existing clinical trials reporting about intra oral scanning procedures on sound teeth.</p><p class="p1"><strong>Materials and methods</strong><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were electronically searched and enriched by hand searches. The query terms "randomized clinical trials", "in vivo study", "sound teeth", "intraoral scanner", "digital dentistry" combined with the Boolean operators "OR" and "AND" have been used. No language or time limitation was applied.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>Selection criteria: oly randomized in vivo studies where sound teeth had been scanned intraorally were considered.</p><p class="p1"><strong>Results</strong> Twenty-four out of more than three hundred studies were selected for the review.</p><p class="p1"><strong>Conclusion</strong> In literature there are enough randomized clinical trials about sound teeth. They report about many clinical aspects.</p> ER -
