A total of 152completed questionnaire forms were collected, giving a response rate of66.09%. The crown and bridge work was mainly done in private practice(80.92%) in comparison to primary health care centers (19.08%). Thirty twopercent and 38.1% of the surveyed DP's never or rarely used study castsrespectively. The surveyed DP's often (40.94%) and rarely (35.57%) useradiographs for the crown and bridge work. Vitality test of abutment teeth wasnever (45.64%) or rarely (22.82%) done by the majority of the surveyed DP's.High-speed hand pieces were the instrument of choice in 80.54% of theresponses. The most common used hand pieces according to number of sprayports were found to be the single port (80.43%). Impression materials used bysurveyed DP's were as follow: additional cured-silicone 7.32%, condensationcuredsilicone 24.32% and alginate 68.24%. The putty and wash technique wasthe most recommended technique for those who used silicone impressionmaterial (80.85%). Impression trays used by DP's were: metal 23.53%, rigidplastic 12.5% and both 63.97%. Results in relation to the use of the retractingcord indicated that 53.69% never use it, while 9.4% always used it in theirpractice. Disinfection of the impression was not routine.
