Knowledge, Attitudes and Practical Experience With <scp>CAD</scp> / <scp>CAM</scp> Technology Among Dental Students in Croatia: A Cross‐Sectional Study
The findings indicate a gap between theoretical familiarity and practical competence among Croatian dental students regarding CAD/CAM technology. To address this, we recommend the development of a structured undergraduate CAD/CAM module that includes theoretical instruction, digital simulation and supervised clinical training across all study years. Such curriculum development is essential to prepare future dentists for the demands of digital clinical practice.
