![]() It would be helpful to investigate student’s preferences and perceptions in IOS and impression making, which is less commonly explored. Equipment cost is also not a consideration among dental students. However, dental students’ acceptance in the intraoral scanning are expected to be highest, as they are more willing to learn new techniques in the dental school, and they should have minimum technical barrier in adopting digital equipment and software. Compared to conventional impressions, training in dental schools in general devote less time on IOS, possibly due to time or equipment constraints. Graduating dental students therefore provides a relatively homogenous population for us to investigate the technology adoption of IOS. ![]() Factors such as innovation perception, personal, practice and social backgrounds all contribute to the acceptance to IOS. Īpart from clinical limitations, there are large variation in the reasons and barriers to adopt the IOS in the dental practice. ![]() Moreover, there was huge variation in the types of procedures indicated for IOS among dental schools that have adopted IOS teaching. Moreover, the sulcus reflection in the edentulous patient may be distorted during the scanning process and hence rendering it unsuitable for the fabrication of complete dentures with adequate border seal. One of the reasons is there are still some clinical limitations with these IOS systems, for instance, intra-arch discrepancy with IOS could be significant, rendering it not recommended for full arch prostheses in general. ĭespite the advantages of digital dentistry and CAD/CAM workflow, there are still significant proportion of dentists who do not adopt the IOS. Using the CAD/CAM workflow, the time required for dental restoration fabrications has been significantly reduced when compared to the conventional restorative work flow. Improved patient comfort has been reported for IOS and clinicians no longer need to pour the stone casts and wait for their setting. The use of intraoral scanning (IOS) for the Virtual Patient Models creation and Computer-Aided Design/Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of esthetic and high-strength all-ceramic restorations have been widely adopted in dental clinics.
