Evaluación del nivel de conocimiento de las resinas de impresión 3D entre los estudiantes de postgrado de la UEES.

Abstract

Currently, technological innovations have taken over and transformed most work fields. Dentistry is no exception to this rule, as new technologies have come to revolutionize the way permanent restorations are made. The advent of 3D resins offers unparalleled advantages over traditional composite resin; customization, work time, and precision make it hard to overlook in daily practice. In this article, a survey was conducted with two groups of specialists, one in rehabilitation and the other in orthodontics, to assess the level of knowledge both specialties have regarding these new forms of restoration. A series of questions were asked about their understanding of 3D resins, including clinical handling, behavior, lifespan, etc. It was concluded that postgraduate students in oral rehabilitation had a greater knowledge of 3D resins than those in orthodontics, due to the more frequent use of these types of resins in their practice.
