By phasing-in the CAD/CAM training programme, independent CAD/CAM-based fabrication of all-ceramic crowns increased student's self-confidence in tooth preparation. A tendency was found that students using CAD/CAM technology prepared more teeth than their fellow students who did not use CAD/CAM technology. Further studies are required to investigate the influence of independent CAD/CAM-based single-crown fabrication on the quality of the preparation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
