“…Therefore, the minority of PS and CS participants knew that intraoral digital impression is not obligatory in CAD/CAM technology because a stone model can be scanned in laboratory ( 1 ), fewer PS and CS participants stated that all suggested materials (wax, alloys, zirconium oxide) can be processed in CAD/CAM machines, and that zirconium oxide blocks can have a shrinkage factor. In a study by Popa et al ( 22 ) only 19.1% of students, and in study by Kavarthapu et al ( 26 ) 36.2% of students stated that all suggested materials could be processed in CAD/CAM machines. In the same study ( 26 ), only 11.4% of students knew that zirconium oxide CAD/CAM blocks have shrinkage factor.…”

According to results from present study it could be concluded that additional education of students about CAD/CAM technology is required but it cannot be concluded that CS students have greater theoretical knowledge about CAD/CAM technology than PS students.…”

AimDue to fast and continuing advances in digital dental technology it is important to provide appropriate CAD/CAM education of preclinical (PS) and clinical (CS) dental students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes on CAD/CAM technology of PS and CS at the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb since the obtained results can show the level of students’ knowledge and possibly a need for additional education.Materials and methodsThis study included 216 undergraduate dental students from the School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb: 77 (35.6%) of preclinical students (PS) and 139 (64.4%) of clinical students (CS). All participants filled out the questionnaire specially designed for this study. The obtained data were statistically analyzed with a significance level of p<0.05.ResultsMost of the students (182, 84.23%) heard about CAD/CAM technology at regular lectures held at the School (p<0.05). Regardless of their level of education, most of the students (204, 94.4%) did not attend any CAD/CAM course which were not held within regular lectures at the School (p<0.05). Most of PS (72, 33.3%) and most of CS (133, 61.6%) participants believe that they are not sufficiently informed about CAD/CAM technology (p<0.05).ConclusionAlthough most of the students (PS and CS) heard about CAD/CAM technology, it could be concluded that they are not sufficiently informed and that additional education on CAD/CAM technology is required. Also, CS students do not posses greater knowledge about CAD/CAM technology than PS students.
