- Abstract
Introduction: “Stamp technique†is a new technique for restoring Class I and Class II restorations with accurate occlusal topography. This technique is suitable in cases where caries is evident during the clinical examination or routine radiographic examination of teeth with intact marginal ridges and ideal occlusal anatomy. The purpose of this study is to know the knowledge, awareness, and perception regarding occlusal stamp technique for composite restorations. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A questionnaire containing 18 questions on composites and stamp technique was prepared and shared among dentists, and dental students and the responses were statistically analyzed. Results: The survey received 144 responses. About 68.3% of the participants have heard about the occlusal stamp technique and 70.7% of the participants felt that occlusal stamp technique is a technique sensitive procedure. Conclusion: Only a few people have knowledge about the occlusal stamp technique, and more in vivo studies have to be done to prove the success of occlusal stamp technique.
