Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence in contemporary dental practices, focusing on its impact and
implementation. A structured survey administered to 150 dental professionals evaluates awareness, adoption rates and perceived benefits
of artificial intelligence technologies in dentistry. Simulated data reveals emerging trends in artificial intelligence applications,
including diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning efficiency and patient management optimization. Findings highlight a growing
acceptance of artificial intelligence, noting its potential to enhance diagnostic precision and streamline treatment processes while
addressing challenges related to technology integration and practitioner training. This research provides insights into the evolving
role of artificial intelligence in dental settings and informs future directions for optimizing artificial intelligence integration in
the field.
