Abstract
The objective of the study is to assess the precision of digital impressions in removable partial dentures through an in vitro study on the degree of abutment adaptation. A Kennedy Class III model with a prosthetic space between elements 43 and 47, featuring niches in the mesio-occlusal and cingulum regions, respectively. Conventional impressions were performed in subgroups CONC and CONM, while digital scanning was conducted in subgroups DIGC and DIGM. Simplified cobalt-chromium alloy frameworks were manufactured using the lost-wax technique on plaster and resin models. The degree of adaptation of the structures was evaluated by impressing the niches with condensation silicone, qualitatively assessing perforations, and quantitatively measuring the mold thickness under a stereomicroscope after cross-sectioning. Regular adaptation was more prevalent among the experimental groups. CONC showed a higher mean degree of abutment adaptation, while CONM had a lower mean. The study factors, impression technique, and type of abutment seat, were not statistically significant, with no interaction among the variables. Occlusal and cingulum abutment measurement points, in both impression techniques, showed no statistically significant difference. Digital scanning yielded better results in terms of abutment adaptation, with smaller average gaps between the abutment seat and the metal structure, making it clinically acceptable. The type of abutment seat and the impression technique did not have a statistically significant impact on abutment adaptation. The impression technique does not represent a factor influencing the adaptation of occlusal and cingulum abutments at different measurement points.

Resumo
O Objetivo do estudo é valiar precisão da impressão digital em próteses parciais removíveis, por meio de um estudo in vitro sobre o grau de adaptação dos apoios. Um modelo Classe III de Kennedy com espaço protético entre o elemento 43 e 47, nichos na região mésio-oclusal e na do cíngulo. Foram realizadas impressões convencionais nos subgrupos CONC e CONM, e digitalização nos subgrupos DIGC e DIGM, onde estruturas simplificadas de liga de Co-Cr foram fabricadas usando a técnica de fundição perdida nos modelos de gesso e resina. O grau de adaptação das estruturas foi avaliado pela impressão dos nichos com silicone de condensação, qualitativamente as perfurações e quantitativamente a espessura do molde em um estereomicroscópio após seção transversal. A adaptação regular foi mais prevalente entre os grupos experimentais. CONC maior média do grau de adaptação do apoio, enquanto CONM menor média. Os fatores do estudo, técnica de impressão e tipo de assento de apoio, não foram estatisticamente significativos, sem interação entre as variáveis. Pontos de medição de apoio oclusal e de cíngulo, em ambas as técnicas de impressão, sem diferença estatisticamente significativa. A digitalização mostrou melhores resultados em relação ao grau de adaptação dos apoios, com menores lacunas médias entre o assento de apoio e a estrutura metálica, sendo clinicamente aceitável. O tipo de assento de apoio e a técnica de impressão não interferem estatisticamente na adaptação dos apoios. A técnica de impressão não representa um fator que influencie a adaptação de apoios oclusais e de cíngulo em diferentes pontos de medição.

Palavras-chave: Impressão 3D. Prótese Parcial Removível. Grau de Adaptação. Apoio.
