Abstract

Ensuring a passive fit of implant-supported frameworks is crucial for long-term treatment success, as superstructural misfits can lead to both mechanical and biological complications. Accuracy, comprising trueness and precision according to the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO5725-1), plays a pivotal role. Trueness refers to the measurement's ability to align with a true or acceptable reference, while precision signifies the consistency of repeated measurements.
