The aim of this study was to the evaluate differences in perception between experienced prosthodontics specialists, residents and students, regarding conventional and digital impressions, and also to determine which method is more time efficient. Material methods. Five prosthodontic specialists, five prosthodontic residents and four dental students, made conventional and digital impressions on a typodont model mounted on a manikin. Working times for both impression techniques were recorded and compared. A multiple choice questionnaire was used to assess the participant’s perception, preference and effectiveness regarding both techniques and the results were statistical evaluated. Results. Overall results showed that the digital impression was the preferred method among all test groups and also was the most time efficient. Conclusions. The null hypothesis that digital impressions is faster and more efficient was confirmed. According to the operator’s perception the digital impression technique was accepted as the preferred and effective technique.
