and the digital scanning of plaster models in the laboratory. Each step introduces potential sources of error, such as material shrinkage, tray movement, or inaccuracies during model fabrication, which can compromise the accuracy and fit of the final prosthesis. In contrast, digital impressions capture the implant position and surrounding structures directly in three dimensions, providing a streamlined workflow that minimizes cumulative errors. This direct digital capture not only enhances accuracy but also simplifies the process, reducing the need for physical models and enabling faster turnaround times for prosthetic fabrication [8; 9; 10; 11].  
Despite these advantages, the clinical effectiveness of digital impression techniques remains a subject of debate. While numerous studies have demonstrated comparable accuracy between digital and conventional methods, the impact on broader clinical outcomes--such as treatment time, patient satisfaction, and prosthetic fit--requires further exploration. For instance, although digital impressions are often faster and more comfortable for patients, the initial cost of acquiring digital equipment and the learning curve for clinicians can be barriers to widespread adoption. Additionally, patient preferences and familiarity with traditional methods may influence the acceptance of digital technologies in dental practice. These factors highlight the need for comprehensive research to evaluate the practical benefits of digital impressions in real-world clinical settings [12; 13; 14; 15; 16].  
This study aims to compare treatment time and patient satisfaction between digital and conventional impression techniques in single-tooth implant prosthetics. By evaluating key metrics such as time efficiency, patient comfort, and overall satisfaction, this research seeks to provide evidence-based insights into the benefits of digital impressions. The findings will help clinicians make informed decisions about adopting digital technologies and support their integration into routine dental practice. Furthermore, this study will contribute to the growing body of literature on digital dentistry, addressing gaps in knowledge regarding the clinical outcomes and patient experiences associated with digital impression techniques.
