Implication

Randomized trial compares dental students' satisfaction with 3D-printed and conventional restorations, indicating preferences for digital methods.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate dental students' perceptions of 3D-printing compared to conventional methods for provisional restorations.
  • Participants included second-year dental students who completed practical activities and surveys.
  • Students prepared two molar teeth using conventional and 3D-printing techniques in a simulated lab setting.
  • A seven-item questionnaire assessed preferences and satisfaction with restoration aspects.
  • 125 students (52.74%) completed the activity, revealing significant preference for 3D-printed onlays over conventional methods.
  • Statistical significance was noted in interproximal contacts of 3D-printed onlays (p = 0.0178).
  • Overall, 3D-printing methods scored higher in preference, fit, anatomy, and occlusal aspects (p < 0.001).
