“…Few surveys targeted dental students and sought their attitudes towards integration of digital dentistry into dental education and clinical practice, including CAD/CAM technology. The results indicated positive attitudes and a need for greater exposure and integration of CAD/CAM technology into future dental training/education [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

The application of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology in dentistry has rapidly expanded. This survey aimed to investigate attitudes and current practice of dentists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia regarding chair-side CAD/CAM technology. An online questionnaire was prepared and sent to a convenience sample of dentists in Riyadh. Questions related to practice aspects of chair-side CAD/CAM system, attitudes and training were presented. A total of 114 questionnaires were completed (77.6% response rate). Study population comprised dentists of a wide range of clinical experience who are working in the various regions of Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Of the participants, 27.2% indicated the presence of a chair-side CAD/CAM system at their current workplace and 57% used the chair-side CAD/CAM in the fabrication of dental crowns. The vast majority of participants (81%) believe that the overall quality of chair-side CAD/CAM restorations is at least as good as those fabricated by a lab technician or much better. Most responding dentists considered the chair-side CAD/CAM system as important in terms of time saving, boosting the number of visiting patients and income improvement. The willingness to dedicate the time and effort to learn the chair-side CAD/CAM technology was apparent amid a high proportion of dentists (75.4%). The findings of this pilot survey reflect broad satisfaction and positive attitude among the surveyed dentists towards use and outcome of chair-side CAD/CAM technology in the dental clinical practice. It seems that the CAD/CAM technology has infiltrated into the workflow of Saudi dental practices with speculations of growing implementation among the wider sector of dental practitioners in the future.

“…Several studies have been published evaluating the incorporation of the CAD/CAM technology into the preclinical and clinical curriculum. 3,[9][10][11][12][13] The studies reported a positive attitude of the students toward the technology but also noted that they felt insufficiently informed and expressed the need for additional education. In a recent 2019 study by Zimmermann et al, fourth-year dental students were introduced to the CAD/CAM technology and their clinical experience was accessed with a questionnaire.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to survey all United States Air Force (USAF) general dentists regarding their experience with computeraided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) while in a dental school. Dental school graduation year and location was compared to the type and amount of CAD/CAM training and clinical experience during dental school to better understand the differences and influence of this technology. Materials and methods: A survey consisting of six questions was sent through e-mail to 546 general dentists in the AF Dental Corps in 2018 of which 306 replied (56% response rate). Results: Dentists who graduated in 2005 or earlier and between 2006 and 2009 stated they did not receive CAD/CAM training in dental school, while more respondents in the group of graduation years 2014-2017 stated that they did receive training. About 11% of the respondents who graduated in 2014-2017 completed 6-10 restorations and 9% completed 11 or more restorations compared to the other year groups. More respondents who graduated from a dental school in the southwest and southeast regions of the United States reported completing more restorations compared to other school regions. Conclusion: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing is now becoming a prevalent curriculum in US dental schools, both as a core requirement and an elective. Its training platforms varied from lectures and literature reviews to preclinical laboratory. Clinical significance: More respondents in the groups of graduation years 2014-2017 had completed more CAD/CAM restorations compared to other year groups; however, most of the respondents did not feel their training was sufficient enough to use CAD/CAM technology independently.

“…Over the last two decades the demand and application of computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology in the field of dentistry has rapidly increased [1] . CAD/CAM technology was launched in 1960's for the purpose of aircraft and automotive industries [2] . In 1971, Dr. Duret was the one who introduced CAD/CAM technology in dentistry and in 1983 first CAD/CAM restoration was made [3] .…”

Background: High demand for aesthetic and metal-free restoration has developed the potential to minimize the inaccuracies in conventional techniques which helps the dentists in developing restoration faster, easier and more perfect. The purpose of the study was to assess the awareness, attitude and knowledge of computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) among dental professionals. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire study was conducted among dental professionals. A structured, self-administered, close-ended questionnaire was designed to collect the data which consisted of two parts and comprised of 31 questions related to knowledge, attitudes and practices in CAD/CAM among dental professionals. Cronbach alpha value was 0.751. Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Results: In this study, there were a total of 178 participants out of which 158 were of age group 23-35 years and 25 were of age group 35-45 years while the rest were from 45+ years and above. Around 73.6% of the participants were aware of CAD/CAM system while others were unaware or not sure. About 39.7% of participants have used CAD/CAM system in their clinical practice while others have not. Conclusion: Most of the participants were aware and interested in CAD/CAM technology but they have insufficient clinical knowledge and practice.
