Artificial intelligence (AI) is commonly used in the modern day medical system for medical and dental imaging diagnostics, decision support, precision, hospital monitoring, robotic assistants, and so on. All branches of dentistry have a role of AI, like endodontics, cancer diagnosis, and cephalometric analysis. With the advancing technology, dental professionals need to upgrade themselves.
To assess awareness and attitude of dental students and dental practitioners in Alkharj toward AI.
A total of 100 dental students from a teaching institute and 100 private dental practitioners participated in the study. A closed-ended questionnaire was used containing 14 questions related to awareness and attitude toward AI. Participation was voluntary.
33% of study participants were aware of the working principle of AI; 68% of study subjects are aware of uses of AI in the dental field. 87% thinks AI helps in radiological diagnosis; 56.5% thinks AI helps in cancer detection.
Awareness about AI among study participants was less than 50%. The overall attitude of dental professionals was positive.
人工智能（AI）在现代医疗系统中常用于医学和牙科影像诊断、决策支持、精准医疗、医院监测、机器人助手等领域。牙科的各个分支都有AI的用武之地，比如牙髓病学、癌症诊断和头影测量分析。随着技术的进步，牙科专业人员需要不断提升自己。
评估阿尔卡吉地区牙科学生和牙科从业者对AI的认知和态度。
来自一所教学机构的100名牙科学生和100名私人牙科从业者参与了该研究。使用了一份包含14个与对AI的认知和态度相关问题的封闭式问卷。参与是自愿的。
33%的研究参与者了解AI的工作原理；68%的研究对象知晓AI在牙科领域的用途。87%的人认为AI有助于放射诊断；56.5%的人认为AI有助于癌症检测。
研究参与者中对AI的认知低于50%。牙科专业人员的总体态度是积极的。
