Accuracy of Implant Level Intraoral Scanning and Photogrammetry Impression Techniques in a Complete Arch with Angled and Parallel Implants: An In Vitro Study

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

" Accuracy of implant level intraoral scanning and photogrammetry impression techniques in a complete arch with angled 3 and parallel implants: An in vitro study

It is very interesting to focus to comparison the accuracy of digital impression techniques (intraoral scanning and photogrammetry) at the level of intraoral scan bodies in terms of angular deviations and 3D discrepancies. However, there are a few corrections that are essential to meet the standard for publication. Please refer to the following comments.

 

1) Table 1 and Fig 7 are duplicated. Please check.

2) What does 24 <14 <22 = 12 in the bottom column of Tables 1 and 2 indicate? Please add a description.

3) Tabel and figure show the same thing, so it's better to unify them.

The table is more detailed and it is desirable to unify here.

4) Please specify the comparison target of Bonferroni multiple comparisons tests in statistical analysis.

5) Illustrating the areas where errors were likely to occur with the DIOS and DPG methods provides useful information to the reader.

Please simplify the results and add more visualization of the results.
