<p>Digital technologies for transferring the spatial position of the upper jaw into a virtual articulator are becoming an integral part of the modern orthopedic protocol, but the comparability of various digital registration methods remains a matter of debate. The accuracy of the transfer directly determines the correctness of the modeling of occlusive relationships and the functional predictability of orthopedic designs. The purpose of the study is to compare the accuracy of maxillary position transfer using digital methods: the Просистем P-Art axiographic system and the SAM Аксиопризма digital facial arc. The study included 42 patients who underwent: cone-beam computed tomography, intraoral scanning and recording of spatial parameters using the compared methods. The analysis was carried out by comparing the obtained data with the reference CBCT model with the assessment of linear deviations in the vertical, sagittal and transversal directions. Statistically significant differences between the study methods were found in a number of spatial parameters, while both technologies demonstrated a clinically acceptable level of reproducibility. The data obtained clarify the applicability boundaries of digital registration protocols and can be used in planning orthopedic treatment in a full digital working scheme.</p>
