Abstract: - Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare by offering innovative solutions in diagnostics, treatment planning, and disease prevention. In dentistry, AI applications span radiology, orthodontics, endodontics, and restorative procedures, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Despite its potential, the extent of AI awareness, knowledge, and adoption among dental professionals remains unclear, necessitating a focused investigation. Methodology A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 100 dental professionals, including practicing dentists, academics, and postgraduate students across various specialties. Participants were recruited through online and offline channels, adhering to inclusion criteria of a minimum Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) qualification and active engagement in clinical practice or teaching. A structured questionnaire comprising five sections assessed demographics, AI awareness and attitudes, knowledge, barriers to AI adoption, and educational preferences. The tool's reliability was validated (Cronbach's alpha = 0.8) through a pilot study. Data collection involved voluntary participation with informed consent. Results The study revealed high awareness (84%) of AI applications in dentistry, with participants acknowledging its utility in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, significant barriers to AI adoption were identified, including a lack of technical knowledge, inadequate infrastructure, and ethical concerns. The majority of participants expressed a strong preference for AI-focused educational programs, emphasizing hands-on training and workshops. Conclusion The findings underscore the need to address technical and infrastructural barriers to foster AI integration in dentistry. Targeted educational initiatives are essential to bridge the knowledge gap and equip dental professionals with the skills required to leverage AI effectively. This study provides a foundation for developing strategic interventions to promote AI adoption, ensuring its seamless incorporation into routine dental practice.
