Abstract

Nowadays digital impression represents a new breakthrough for dental offices, since more and more dentists use dental scanners. From the point of view of the dentist’s preferences, there are not many studies regarding the use of the digital impression in comparison with the conventional impression. (1) Background: The aim of this study was to make a comparison between the digital impression and the classic impression and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of using the two methods, both in terms of the patient and the dentist; (2) Methods: To fulfill the objectives of this study, the Google Forms Platform was used to distribute a questionnaire regarding digital impression and classic impression. The questionnaire included 14 questions with the possibility of choosing only one answer and was addressed to dentists. (3) Results: 42 responses were recorded to the 14 questions contained in the questionnaire; (4) Conclusions: Intraoral scanning dental impression compared to traditional impression has less effect on patient gag effect, breathing difficulties, stress and anxiety, and results in better patient perception and comfort.

Keywords: digital impression, analog impression, dentist preferences.
