Abstract
Aim: In today’s digital era, it is necessary to make changes and improvements in the curriculum of restorative and prosthetic dentistry. Information is limited to what extent new dental technologies are involved in educational curricula in our country. This study had an aim to assess to what extent the training in Turkish Dental Schools relates to CAD/CAM technology.Study Design: Dental schools of the Republic of Turkey with undergraduate students to graduate in 2015–2016-academic-year were included in the study. Twenty-nine questionnaires with 15 questions were mailed. The questionnaire, appealing to the Head of Prosthetic Dentistry Departments, was meant to understand how and where the CAD/CAM topic was included in the curriculum and what the departments’ opinions were regarding making a requirement to provide this training. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics.Results: The response rate was 41% n=12 . Fifty percent of the schools were established after 2000 and 67% of them owned a CAD/CAM device. None had established CAD/CAM-related tasks in preclinical phase and 33% indicated, such training was not needed in the undergraduate curriculum. More than half of the institutions stressed, CAD/CAM education should take place in the graduate curriculum. In contrast, half declared, they did not provide practical CAD/CAM training at graduate level. Fifty-eight percent of the institutions reported up to 25% CAD/CAM use in clinic. All declared, the use of CAD/CAM technology in dentistry would spread more in the future. The most important advantages of this technology were emphasized as; speed 67% , standard production 67% and fewer errors 67% , while the main disadvantage as; cost 67% .Conclusion: In conclusion; CAD/CAM was not yet included in practical training at the undergraduate dental education, but there was sufficient awareness in this regard and high demand for it

Abstract
Amaç: Günümüzün dijital çağında, gelişmelere bağlı olarak restoratif ve protetik diş hekimliği eğitim müfredatında değişiklik ve iyileştirmeler yapma ihtiyacı doğmuştur. Yeni diş hekimliği teknolojilerinin ülkemiz eğitim müfredatlarında hangi oranda mevcut olduğu bilgisi kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk Diş Hekimliği Fakülteleri eğitiminin hangi oranda CAD/CAM teknolojisi ile ilgili olduğunu değerlendirmektir.Çalışma Planı: Lisans eğitimi faaliyetlerini sürdürmekte olup 2015–2016 eğitim-öğretim yılında mezun verecek olan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Diş Hekimliği Fakülteleri, çalışmaya dahil edildi. Toplam 29 fakülteye posta yoluyla ulaşılarak, 15 sorudan oluşan anket sunuldu. Protetik Diş Tedavisi Anabilim Dalı Başkanlarına hitaben hazırlanmış anketin amacı, CAD/CAM konusunun ilgili anabilim dalındaki eğitim müfredatına hangi alanda ve ne oranda dahil edildiğini anlamak ve anabilim dallarının bu eğitimin gerekliliği hakkındaki görüşlerini almaktı. Sonuçlar betimsel istatistik araçları kullanılarak analiz edildi.Bulgular: Anketin geri dönüş oranı %41 n=12 olarak gerçekleşti. Ankete katılan fakültelerin %50’si 2000 yılından sonra kurulmuş ve bunların %67’si CAD/CAM cihazına sahipti. Fakültelerden hiçbiri preklinik aşamasında CAD/CAM ile ilgili ödev yaptırmıyordu, %33’ü, böyle bir eğitimin, lisans düzeyi müfredatında yer almasına gerek olmadığını belirti. Kurumların yarısından fazlası uygulamalı CAD/CAM eğitiminin lisansüstü müfredatının konusu olduğunu vurguladı. Buna karşın, yarısı, lisansüstü uygulamalı CAD/CAM eğitimi vermediğini beyan etti. Kurumların %58’i, kliniklerinde %25 oranına kadar CAD/CAM’dan yararlandıklarını belirtti. Hepsi, CAD/CAM teknolojisinin diş hekimliği alanındaki kullanımının gelecekte daha da yaygınlaşacağını düşündüğünü beyan ettin. Bu teknolojinin en önemli avantajlarının; hız %67 , standart üretim %67 ve az hata %67 olduğu vurgulanırken, önde gelen dezavantajı; maliyet %67 olarak sayıldı.Sonuç: Bulgulardan, CAD/CAM’ın lisans düzeyinde uygulamalı eğitme henüz dahil edilmediği, fakat bu konuda yeterli bir farkındalık geliştiği ve bunun için yüksek oranda istek olduğu sonucuna varıldı
