LAVA Chairside Oral Scanner (LAVA COS, 3M ESPE) takes a completely different approach using a continuous video stream of the teeth.
Crowns from intraoral scans revealed significantly better marginal fit than crowns from silicone impressions. Marginal discrepancies in both groups were within the limits of clinical acceptability. Crowns from intraoral scans tended to show better interproximal contact area quality.
