Among the several materials and techniques being used in fixed prosthodontics, impression materials and techniques were the major focus of this study. These materials are available in the market to be used by dental practitioners. However, their choice depends on certain factors, which include their properties, advantages, disadvantages, and cost.
A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among dental students using online survey. Dental students from Riyadh city willing to take part in this study were requested to fill up and submit the survey questionnaire.
Six hundred and sixteen out of 800 dental students from Riyadh city took part in this study. It was noted from the findings that 88% male students used alginate for diagnostic impressions, which was statistically significant and lower than females (94%). Ninety-one percent of the interns reported that they used retraction cord for gingival retraction as compared to 81% fourth-year students, with the difference being statistically significant (P value: 0.016).
Dental students in Riyadh city have a strong inclination toward a particular material, either for primary or secondary impressions or gingival retraction options.
在固定修复学中使用的多种材料和技术中，印模材料和技术是本研究的主要重点。这些材料在市场上可供牙科从业者使用。然而，他们的选择取决于某些因素，包括材料的特性、优点、缺点和成本。
采用在线调查的方式，对牙科学生进行了一项基于问卷的横断面研究。要求利雅得市愿意参与本研究的牙科学生填写并提交调查问卷。
利雅得市800名牙科学生中有616人参与了本研究。研究结果显示，88%的男学生使用藻酸盐进行诊断性印模，这一比例具有统计学意义且低于女学生（94%）。91%的实习生报告称他们使用排龈线进行牙龈退缩，而四年级学生的这一比例为81%，差异具有统计学意义（P值：0.016）。
利雅得市的牙科学生对于用于初次或二次印模或牙龈退缩选择的特定材料有强烈的偏好。
