It is, therefore, crucial to appropriately investigate their reliability. To this date, however, there has been no scientific, statistical investigation of their reliability as compared to the traditional gold standard\u2014plaster models in the form of a meta-analysis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of measurements taken on digital orthodontic models obtained from scanning plaster models in laboratory scanners compared to measurements taken directly on plaster models.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Search methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Multiple electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched for articles with no year or language limitations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Selection criteria<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The included original papers should have dealt with the accuracy and repeatability of the measurements conducted on plaster and digital models derived from laboratory scanners.

The quantitative analysis included papers that compared at least one of the parameters: upper\/lower intermolar width, upper\/lower intercanine width, overjet and overbite and provided standard deviation of the mean differences between measurements obtained on plaster and digital models from a laboratory scanner.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>GRADE and QUADAS tools were used to assess the quality of evidence, and they revealed substantial heterogeneity.
