“…As regards the advantages seen from our study, we can cite that the present technique is a noninvasive procedure for patients, as a 3‐dimensional optical scanner is employed without any source of X‐ray radiation for the volumetric survey; moreover, data acquisition appears acceptable for patients and easy for the clinician, consisting of an impression being made of the arch and the production of a model cast. The semi‐automaticity of further digital steps (voxelization, fusion, and VOI detection) guarantees, as has been proven by previous studies, a high degree of accuracy due to the single file production (from baseline to 4 months' survey), in which the changes in volume and area of treated and untreated sockets can be easily investigated.…”
