Exploring dental faculty awareness, knowledge, and attitudes toward AI integration in education and practice: a mixed-method study.

Journal: BMC medical education
PMID: 40355937

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dentistry is shifting from traditional to digital practices owing to the rapid development of "artificial intelligence" (AI) technology in healthcare systems. The dental curriculum lacks the integration of emerging technologies such as AI, which could prepare students for the evolving demands of modern dental practice. This study aimed to assess dental faculty members' knowledge, awareness, and attitudes toward AI and provide consensus-based recommendations for increasing the adoption of AI in dental education and dental practice.
