摘要：Intraoral scanners (IOS) are equipment used in dentistry to capture direct optical impressions. They project a light source onto the object to be scanned, such as dental curves, including aligned teeth and implants, just as standard three-dimensional (3D) scanners.Although IOS are becoming widespread in clinical dental practice, only a few are aware of the advantages and limitations of the intra oral scanners.The aim of the study was to assess the awareness of intra oral scanners among undergraduates of dental school in chennai. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional survey done among the age group of 18-25 years to analyse knowledge, attitude and practice on intraoral scanners among undergraduate students. A self administered questionnaire was prepared which included 15 questions and was circulated among the students through google docs .The data was collected and statistically analysed using spss software. The survey was conducted among 261 study populations. Results and discussion: From the survey, 68.97% of the undergraduates responded that intraoral scanners provided high quality mapping of the intraoral structures; 75.10% responded that intra oral scanners give a more accurate view. The results show that the interns have adequate knowledge when compared to the students of other years. Conclusion: From this survey, it was concluded that the majority of the participants (86.21%) were aware of intraoral scanners. There is a good knowledge among the interns when compared to students of other years.
