Summary

The goal of this crossover study is to compare children's perceptions and preferences regarding digital and conventional impression techniques in the 5- to 11-year-old age group. The main questions it aims to answer are

* Which impression methods do kids prefer?
* What influences kids' perception of impression methods?

Dental impressions will be obtained using both the conventional alginate impression (CAI) (Cavex ColorChange; Cavex Holland BV, Haarlem, the Netherlands) and digital intraoral scanning procedure (DIS) (3Shape TRIOS Color, 3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark). After each procedure, patients will score their perceptions using a Modified Impression Perception Test, a 5-point Likert scale, for gag reflex, queasiness, difficulty breathing, uncomfortable feeling, pain perception, chairside time, and stress levels. Dental anxiety will be assessed using the Visual Anxiety Scale (1-10). Children will also be asked about their preferences and reasons in one or two sentences. Content analysis will be performed on answers to open-ended questions. Statistical analysis will be done using Fisher's Exact test.

Conditions

  • Dental Impressions

Interventions

DEVICE

digital intraoral scanner

Alginate impressions were obtained with an irreversible hydrocolloid impression material (Cavex Impressional; Cavex Holland, Haarlem, The Netherlands) and standard plastic trays. For each impression, the time required to mix the material and complete a full-mouth (maxillary and mandibular arches) impression was recorded.
