“…Aboalshamat [23] reported that of the 389 participants, less than half (42.2%) reported that they know AI uses in dentistry. Almost the same number (42.5) was reported by Hamd et al [26], while the number of study participants was lower (134). Singh et al [24] reported 51.3% awareness among the 937 study participants.…”

Background: Dentistry is one of the unique specialties that deals with both humans and machines. This fact illustrates the strong potential for artificial intelligence (AI) implementation in dentistry, which makes awareness and attitude toward AI an important indicator for the future of this technology in the field. Hence, this scoping review aimed to report the status of awareness and attitude toward AI in dentistry. Methodology: To ensure the quality and transparency of the present review, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) flow chart is reported. Four databases were searched for related topics (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), Google Scholar, and Scopus); 1,430 studies were identified, and after screening and filtering, 21 cross-sectional studies were included. Results: Twenty-one cross-sectional studies were included and yielded 7,688 participants. With an average level of 50.31% among all the studies that reported awareness (18 studies). Four subgroups’ average levels of awareness toward AI in dentistry were reported: 67.16% among dentists, 42.58% among dental students, 45.56% for studies conducted on both dentists and dental students, and 69.53% for studies reporting awareness of AI in oral radiology. Regarding attitude, out of 13 studies, an average level of 44.13% felt threatened or thought AI would replace them. Conclusion: The average level of awareness is in accordance with the attitude toward AI in dentistry. The low levels of awareness are important indicators of the gap formed between the inevitable application of AI and the lack of utilization in the dental field. AI implementation in dental schools’ curricula is required since the lowest reported level among subgroups was among dental students.

“…Another study by Hamad Z et al . [ 23 ] from UAE also suggested 78% dentists were aware of AI in health care systems and dentistry. The dentist’s perception on use of AI in dentistry is higher than non-dentists in caries detection (48.7%) and in interpretation of dental radiographs (54.4%) [ Table 3 ].…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging tool in modern medicine and the digital world. AI can help dentists diagnose oral diseases, design treatment plans, monitor patient progress and automate administrative tasks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the perception and attitude on use of artificial intelligence in dentistry for diagnosis and treatment planning among dentists and non-dentists’ population of south Tamil Nadu region in India. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional online survey conducted using 20 close ended questionnaire google forms which were circulated among the dentists and non -dentists population of south Tamil Nadu region in India. The data collected from 264 participants (dentists -158, non-dentists -106) within a limited time frame were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. Results: 70.9% of dentists are aware of artificial intelligence in dentistry. 40.5% participants were not aware of AI in caries detection but aware of its use in interpretation of radiographs (43.9%) and in planning of orthognathic surgery (42.4%) which are statistically significant P < 0.05.44.7% support clinical experience of a human doctor better than AI diagnosis. Dentists of 54.4% agree to support AI use in dentistry. Conclusion: The study concluded AI use in dentistry knowledge is more with dentists and perception of AI in dentistry is optimistic among dentists than non -dentists, majority of participants support AI in dentistry as an adjunct tool to diagnosis and treatment planning.

“…( Samyuktha et al, 2020 ) With regard to dentistry, a previous study indicated a substantial level of excitement for integrating AI technology into dental practice. ( Hamd et al, 2023 ) According to another study, a significant majority of nurses in the field expressed agreement that AI holds potential for numerous nursing applications and practices. ( Abuzaid et al, 2022 ) The current study participants indicated the highest willingness in using AI to obtain primary care and communicate with healthcare professionals from home (82.3%).…”
