RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In this study, we investigated the effects of differences in scanning pathways during optical impression on the trueness and precision of full-arch impressions. METHODS: Reference data were obtained using a laboratory scanner. All optical impressions were measured across the dental arch using TRIOS® 3 in four different pathways. The reference and optical impression data were superimposed using the best-fit method. The criteria for superimposition were based on the starting side of the dental arch (partial arch best-fit method, PB) and based on the full arch (full arch best-fit method, FB). The data were compared between the left and right molars (starting and ending sides). The scan deviations for trueness (n = 5) and precision (n = 10) were obtained for each group by calculating the root mean square (RMS) of the deviation at each measurement point. Visual observations using superimposed color map images revealed variations in trueness. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in scanning time or amount of scan data between the four scanning pathways. Trueness did not differ significantly among the four pathways with respect to the starting and ending sides, regardless of the superimposition criteria. Precision with PB was significantly different between scanning pathways A and B, and pathways B and C for the starting sides, and between scanning pathways A and B, and pathways A and D for the ending sides. In contrast, there was no significant difference between the starting and ending side in pathways for FB. Regarding PB, color map images showed a large error range in the direction toward the molar radius for the occlusal surface and cervical regions on the ending sides. CONCLUSION: Differences in the scanning pathways did not affect trueness, regardless of the superimposition criteria. On the other hand, differences in the scanning pathways affected the precision of the starting and ending sides with PB. Scanning pathways B and D were more precise on the starting and ending sides, respectively.

A catalytic oxidation reaction for Acid Blue 7 dye synthesis was evaluated in water. Without lead oxide or manganese oxide derivatives as oxidants, polyoxometalate catalysts were investigated to reduce the usage of harmful heavy metal. A catalyst was prepared by mixing silicotungstic acid with copper oxide, and aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%) was used as an oxidizing agent. This reaction proceeded to produce Acid Blue 7 from the corresponding leuco acid after 45 min at 95 °C and was viable for a 10 g-scale synthesis.
