ISO/TC 106/SC 9/WG 3 - Digitizing devices

This document describes methods of acquiring and analysing data from which the accuracy of a numerical model of the geometry of the mucosa and implant bodies in the jaw of a patient can be assessed.

This document specifies test methods and procedures for assessing the accuracy of a three dimensional numerical description of intra-oral surfaces acquired directly from a patient with a hand-held scanning device. The test methods are not applicable to ultrasonic, radiographic or magnetic resonance imaging methods. NOTE ISO 12836 specifies the test methods for the assessment of accuracy of digitizing devices that use a fixed or a mechanically guided scanning device.
