What is it about?
Ever wondered which dental impression method patients prefer? Our study delves into just that. We compared patient experiences with digital impression techniques versus conventional methods for fabricating crowns and fixed partial dentures. We explored factors like treatment time, discomfort, and overall satisfaction to gauge preference.

Why is it important?
In the realm of dentistry, patient comfort and satisfaction are paramount. Our research fills a crucial gap by providing insights directly from patients. With the rise of digital dentistry, understanding patient preferences can inform clinical practice and enhance patient-centered care.
Perspectives
Dental procedures can be daunting for patients, but our findings offer a glimmer of hope. Patients overwhelmingly favored digital impressions, citing increased comfort and convenience. By embracing digital techniques, clinicians can not only improve patient experiences but also streamline workflows for better outcomes.
