[9] The results of the present study revealed that additional cured silicon was mostly used, 111 (38.3%) for making final impression followed by condensation cured silicon, 78 (26.9%) and 59 (20.3%) preferred to make final impression using alginate, The results of questionnaire undertaken in Maharashtra state (2016); 43% of participants used irreversible hydrocolloid, 26% used Condensation silicone, 23% used addition silicone, 5% use polyether, 2% uses polysulfide impression material.

Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and fixed prosthodontics practice guidelines amongst dental practitioners of Qassim in Saudi Arabia.Materials and Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study was done amongst the Dental Practitioners of Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia in 2018. A total of 290 dentists were selected randomly (from public and private dental clinics and dental schools). A survey was conducted through printed and online questionnaire composed of 19 open and multiple-choice questions. Data from the completed questionnaires were analysed using the SPSS Statistical Software Package (version 25). All statistical analyses were carried out at a significance level of P < 0.05. Results were analysed and compared using the Chi-square test and frequency test.Results:This study showed that 227 (78.3%) of the participants assessed abutment tooth radiographically, also most of them fabricated study cast before starting crown and bridge procedures 37.2% (108). The vitality test for restored abutments was always done by 132 (45.5%) respondents, and 111 (38.3%) of them used poly vinyl siloxane for making final impression, which provides the level of quality of final impression. A total of 117 (40.3%) of them always used retraction cord before making final impression. Both written prescriptions and verbal instructions were used by 209 (72.1%) of the practitioners for communication with the lab. The study revealed that there were no significant differences between males and females in answering questions 11, 13 and 17.Conclusion:The dental practitioners (DPs) of Qassim displayed an acceptable level of knowledge and a level of awareness of fixed prosthodontics practicing. However, to further enhance the proficiency, efforts should be made to encourage the practitioners to be aware of the advances in fixed prosthodontics practice through state-of-the-art continuous education programmes.Clinical Significance:As fixed prosthodontic restorative procedures are widely practiced for dental rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia, it was very important to measure and evaluate the knowledge of DPs about the details of basic steps in the field of fixed prosthodontics and the way of practicing this important branch of dentistry.

There is variation in fixed prosthodontics practice and many studies have concluded that clinicians definitely deviate from the recommended clinical protocols. If this happens during treatment with fixed prosthesis, the quality of fixed prostheses is compromised which affects it’s long term survival. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of impression materials and techniques in fixed prosthodontics among Nepalese dentists and to compare the findings on the basis of educational level and years of experience. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based online survey was done amongst the Nepalese Dentists through google forms. Data from the completed questionnaires were analysed using the SPSS version 16. All statistical analyses were carried out at a significance level of P < 0.05. Out of 129 participants, 68 (52.7%) dentists often made diagnostic impression for fabrication of study cast. 85(65.9%) dentists used Addition silicone, 11(8.5%) used Condensation silicone and 33(25.6%) used Alginate for final impression making. Most commonly used elastomeric impression technique was Putty Wash single stage (56.2%), 40.7% used Putty Wash two stage, 3.1% used Single mix (Monophase) technique. Regarding retraction cord, 63.5% of dentists used Plain gingival retraction cord and 35.7% of dentists used Chemical impregnated retraction cord. Conclusion: The study found that most of the responses on use of impression materials and techniques were significantly associated with the level of education and clinical experience.
