About

The comfort of impression methods and the time they require are important because it is known that children are more stressed in their encounter with the dentist than the elderly, and their chairside times are shorter. The comparison of impression methods in terms of comfort, preference, and time has been studied only in young adults or adult patients. thus this study will assess pediatric patient comfort, time, and preference between digital scans and rubber base impressions.
