Objectives: To investigate the awareness and educational needs regarding digital intraoral scanners among dentists and dental hygienists in dental institutions in the Jeonnam region. Methods: Between May 12 and July 26, 2025, 159 dentists and dental hygienists participated. A survey was used to collect data on general characteristics, awareness and use of intraoral scanners, and related educational needs. Results: Among the participants, 94.3% (n=150) were aware of intraoral scanners and 67.3% had used them. The mean perception scores were 3.28±1.17 for convenience, 3.39±1.17 for accuracy, and 3.64±1.20 for future prospects. In total, 91.2% (n=145) agreed on the need for education on intraoral scanners, and 84.9% (n=135) supported its inclusion in the university curriculum. The need for education was significantly higher among those with clinical duties and 3-4 years of experience (p<0.05), and the demand for curricular inclusion was highest among those with ＜3 years of experience (p<0.01). Conclusions: Most participants were aware of intraoral scanners, and many had practical experience; however, their educational experience was limited. Nevertheless, the perceived need for education is very high. Therefore, this study suggests the need to develop future formal and non-formal curricula for the systematic and efficient implementation of digital-related courses.
