BS EN ISO 12836:2015

This standard BS EN ISO 12836:2015 Dentistry. Digitizing devices for CAD/CAM systems for indirect dental restorations. Test methods for assessing accuracy is classified in these ICS categories:

• 11.060.01 Dentistry in general

This International Standard specifies test methods for the assessment of the accuracy of digitizing devices for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems for indirect dental restorations. The methods described in this International Standard require a digitizing device in which the object is mounted relative to the optical or mechanical-contact system and therefore do not apply to hand-held scanning devices.

These test methods are not applicable to digitization by radiographic (X-ray) methods or by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods.
