Brief Summary

The precision of dental restorations and the production of dental models has improved due to the acceleration of technical advancement and the introduction of computer-aided manufacturing.

The study's objective is to compare the conventional imprint approach with a digital one in order to compare patients' comfort levels, preferences, and treatment times among pediatric patients.

Detailed Description

In this study, 60 volunteers without any prior exposure to traditional or digital impressions took part. Using a C-type impression medium, conventional impressions of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches were taken. Digital impressions are taken using an intra-oral scanner at the same appointment. Following the impressions, a standardized questionnaire was used to assess the individuals' attitudes, preferences, and perceptions of the impression procedures. The Wong-Baker Pain Rating Scale was used to assess the perceived source of stress and Frankl Behavioural Scale was used for assessing behaviour. After taking the impression, the processing phases of the impression techniques (working time, etc.), and parental satisfaction were noted.
