Purpose/Objectives. Dental students are being introduced to intraoral digital scanning during their undergraduate dental education. Usually, the conventional impression technique is introduced before the digital scanning technique. This study compares the procedure duration, students’ preference, and perceived procedure difficulty level after students’ initial preclinical exposure to either digital scanning using CEREC Omnicam intraoral scanners or conventional impressions using vinyl polysiloxane impression material. Methods. Ninety-six dental students each prepared tooth #36 for an all-ceramic crown on typodont models and were then randomly assigned into either group A: performed digital scan first, or Group B: performed conventional impression first. Procedure time was recorded for both. Immediately following each procedure, students indicated their perceived procedure difficulty. After exposure to both techniques, they selected their preferred one. Results. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean procedure time of both techniques (P |
