Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various fields, including healthcare, by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient care. In the field of oral medicine, AI has emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to transform dental practice and improve patient outcomes. This study aims to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of dentists towards the integration of AI in oral medicine. A sample size of 200 dentists was recruited for this study. A structured questionnaire was developed to gather data on their knowledge, experience, and opinions regarding AI in oral medicine. The questionnaire included items related to dentists' familiarity with AI technologies, perceived benefits and challenges of AI integration, and their willingness to adopt AI in their practice. Analysis of the data revealed that the majority of dentists had a basic understanding of AI and its applications in oral medicine. They recognized the potential of AI to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline treatment planning, and enhance patient communication. However, concerns were raised regarding the reliability of AI algorithms, data security and privacy, and the potential impact on the dentist-patient relationship. The study findings indicate a generally positive attitude towards the integration of AI in oral medicine among the surveyed dentists.
