Table 1. Mean general trueness and standard deviation (SD), in μm, for partially and totally edentulous maxilla, and p values testing the scanner by model interaction.

N = 5 scans for each scanner and model type.

The same symbol after SD indicates differences in trueness between scanner pairs (Tukey-adjustment for multiple comparison). Minimum significant difference across scanners: 65.1 μm and 37.1 μm for partially and totally edentulous maxilla models, respectively.

1 p-value testing of the interaction between scanner and model type (partially vs totally edentulous maxilla): a p-value > 0.05 indicates no difference in scanner trueness according to model type.
