简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

Assessing patient preference and treatment comfort
时间窗: March 2023-June 2023
Parental satisfaction was measured with a structured questionnaire.The Wong-Baker Pain Rating Scale was used to assess the perceived source of stress and Frankl Behavioural Scale was used for assessing behaviour. A survey was designed to test 3 areas of patient satisfaction regarding the impression experience: comfort, time, and novelty. The survey consisted of 7 statements with a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) below each statement anchored with "agree" and "disagree." The survey also included questions to determine whether the patient had previous experience with impressions.
