Postgraduate students' perception of current and future pre-clinical prosthodontics curriculum: A web-based survey.

The perceptions of postgraduate Prosthodontic students regarding their preclinical curriculum in India are of interest. A web-based survey of 200 second - and third-year students highlighted a demand for a more contemporary and technologically integrated curriculum. Students found the current exercises to be either adequate or excessive, with casting procedures in fixed prosthodontics being the most challenging. The majority supported the inclusion of modern technologies, such as CAD/CAM systems and 3D scanners. The findings suggest that curriculum reform should focus on enhancing technological integration to better prepare students for clinical practice.
