Aims. To Evaluate distribution of professionals and facility types, impact of experience, challenges in impressionmaking and explore dental professionals’ perceptions of technological advancements’ impact on impressions for complete removable prosthetics. Material and Method. The study employed a cross-sectional design, in which a sample of 120 study population consisted of Dentists, Dental technicians, Dental hygienists using a simple random selection procedure was taken. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect information. Descriptive statistics were presented in frequency and percentages. Table and figure were utilized to present data. Chai square test was used for inferential statistics. Results. The current study on complete removable prosthetics examined various aspects related to professionals, techniques, challenges, consequences, measures, and technological advancements. Dentists constituted the largest group (37.5%), with diverse experience levels, primarily within 1-5 years (34.2%). Majority of respondents (60.8%) deemed quality impressions extremely or very crucial, emphasizing techniques like precise measurements and custom trays while highlighting challenges such as border molding difficulties (28.3%). Common consequences included poor fit of the prosthetic (24.2%) and patient discomfort (20%), with recommended measures including proper training (30.8%) and using high-quality materials (23.3%). While technological advancements were perceived positively by 59.2%, skepticism existed among 28.3% of participants. Notably, a significant association (p-value = 0.019) between experience and perceived cruciality of impression quality was found, particularly among practitioners with 1-5 years and over 10 years of experience, underlining the pivotal role of quality impressions in ensuring successful outcomes for complete removable prosthetics. Scientific Novelty. Revolutionizing complete denture success and prioritizing quality impressions for efficacy. Conclusion. The study highlights crucial role of precise impressions in complete removable prosthetics. Diverse expertise levels necessitate skillful techniques. Challenges like border molding require proactive measures and technological advancements for optimal outcomes.
