Introduction
Over the years, new technologies in healthcare industries have influ- enced human life. Significant developments in technologies related to artificial intelligence have taken place in many areas. They acted as an aid for screening, diagnosis, therapeutics, treatment planning, and many other aspects of patient care. Our study investigated den- tists knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding AI in dentistry.
Materials and Methods
An anonymous online survey consist of twenty-three questions was distributed to USA dentists through Qualtrics. The survey included questions regarding the dentist’s knowledge, attitudes, and percep- tions about the development and application of AI in dentistry.
Results
In total, 300 responses were included in our study, with around 85% participation rate. The age range of the participants varied between 29 to 80 years (mean 54.6 yr.) old.The male/female ratio was found to be 5:4. There was at least 70% consensus on responses to the questions at the intro, which measured participants’ general knowl- edge of the AI concept by true or false options. More than half of the participants declared they neither agree nor disagree with the questions regarding their satisfaction in the developments of the AI field and if they are ready to trust the decisions of the AI in the future. More than half of the participants agreed that AI systems should not manage the entire treatment but provide assistance. While the majority of the survey participants deemed it appropriate to reduce the daily working hours with the contribution of AI, it was found that in case of malpractice, the responsibility should belong to the person using the system.
Conclusions
The study concluded, even though there is insufficient knowledge of AI among dentists, but they are interested in the development and application of AI in dentistry.Dentists attitudes and perceptions are very positive towards the use of AI dentistry.
