摘要

Statement of the problem Digital workflows (CAD/CAM) have been introduced in dentistry during recent years. No published information exists on dental technicians' use and reporting of this technology. Purpose The aim of this cross sectional survey was to identify the extent digital technology has infiltrated the workplace and to investigate the factors affecting the use of CAD-CAM technology by dental laboratory technicians within Ireland and the UK. Materials and methods A web-based questionnaire was composed (Opinio, Object Planet Inc. Oslo, Norway) and distributed to UK and Irish dental technicians. Answers to all questions were anonymous and grouped such that general information was gathered initially, followed by branching of the survey into two sections depending on whether or not the respondent worked with CAD-CAM technology. Results were compiled and statistical analysis (Fisher's Exact test, SPSS, IBM, Armonk, New York, USA) was performed in order to investigate any correlation between various demographic variables and the answers provided. Results The survey was distributed to 760 UK technicians and 77 Irish technicians. The total number of completed surveys was 105, which yielded a total response rate of 14%. Most technicians reported using some form of CAD/CAM aspect in the workflow, and this was more significant for technicians working in large laboratories. Most training received was company-led. Large laboratories were also significantly correlated with less outsourcing of CAD/CAM work and a change in dental material use leading to the increase of zirconia and the decrease of noble alloys. Dental technicians did not report any significant change in working relationships and staffing as a result of CAD/CAM incorporation. High initial investment cost was the most common reason quoted from non-users, along with the lack of such technology in their working environment.

Oslo,挪威),并分发给英国和爱尔兰牙科技师。所有问题的答案都是匿名的,并分组,使得最初收集一般信息,然后将调查分为两部分,这取决于被访者是否与CAD-CAM技术合作。结果编制了统计分析(Fisher的确切测试,SPS,IBM,Armonk,纽约,美国),以调查各种人口变量与所提供的答案之间的任何相关性。结果调查分布在760名英国技术人员和77名爱尔兰人技术人员。完成的调查总数为105,其总响应率为14%。大多数技术人员在工作流程中使用某种形式的CAD / CAM方面,这对于在大型实验室工作的技术人员来说更为重要。收到的大多数培训是公司主导。大型实验室也与CAD / CAM工作的较少外包以及牙科材料的变化显着相关,导致氧化锆的增加和贵族合金减少。牙科技术人员未在CAD / CAM INCORATION作为CAD / CAM公司的工作关系和人员配置的任何重大变化。高初始投资成本是非用户引用的最常见原因,以及其工作环境中缺乏这种技术。
