Attitudes and Perceptions of Australian Dentists and Dental Students Towards Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: A Survey
The survey underscores the potential of AI to revolutionise dental care, enhancing clinical workflows and decision-making. However, challenges like trust in AI and ethical concerns remain. It is recommended that practising dentists receive hands-on training with AI tools and continuing dental education programmes. Integrating AI into dental curricula and fostering interdisciplinary teaching and research collaborations between computer science and dentistry is necessary to prepare graduates to use AI effectively and responsibly.
