Figure 1. Study procedures: After instructions and demonstrations by the study supervisor (white hexagons), the active tandem partner (ATP) performed the intraoral scan on the passive tandem partner (PTP), which was followed by the CAD design, the lab finishing, and the insertion of the splint to the PTP. The study’s supervisor fabricated the splints via 3D printing and also handled postprocessing operations for the students.

Figure 6. Responses to time-relevant items in each cohort. The CDF plots provide with each line (semester separated by color and legend in the middle) the mean values of the VAS answers (x-value; 0 = swift; 100 = extensive) and duration (x-value in h:mm) in the participants of the semester cohort. This allows a comparison of the cumulative probability (y-axis, sum of all participants in percent) of the responses of all participants (active and passive tandem partners ATP/PTP).
