N2 - The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into healthcare has been gaining momentum over the years. However, there is a gap in the understanding and awareness of dental practitioners regarding the use of AI and robotics in dental practice and oral healthcare. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness and understanding of dental practitioners regarding the application of AI and robotics in oral care management. The study was conducted using a self-directed questionnaire on 350 dental professionals aged between 20 to 55 years. The study found that the majority of respondents (59.1%) believed that AI would significantly enhance both dental and healthcare. Additionally, 54.9% of respondents predicted that AI would eventually replace dentists and medical professionals. A significant percentage of respondents (63.6%) agreed that AI could be utilized for 3-D implant placement and scheduling. The findings of this study have several implications for dental practice and education. The study highlights the need for dental practitioners to keep up with technological advancements in AI and robotics to provide the best care for their patients. The findings suggest that policymakers should consider the integration of AI and robotics into the healthcare system to improve oral health outcomes. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of AI and robotics in dental practice and oral healthcare.
