Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Dental students in Turkey recognize artificial intelligence (AI) benefits like improved diagnosis but want AI to complement, not replace, dentists. They advocate for AI education in dental schools to prepare for its integration.
Area Of Science
- Dental Education
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Medical Informatics
Background
- Investigated knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Turkish dental students regarding artificial intelligence (AI).
- Focused on fourth- and fifth-year undergraduate and specialty dentistry students.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess dental students' understanding of AI applications in dentistry.
- To gauge student opinions on AI's advantages, limitations, and role in dental education and practice.
Main Methods
- Survey conducted from October 16, 2023, to January 16, 2024, among volunteer dental students in Turkey.
- Utilized non-probability convenience and snowball sampling (335 undergraduate, 62 specialty students).
- Statistical analysis included Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's Chi-square, and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests using SPSS version 26.0.
Main Results
- Students identified large datasets, speed, objectivity, and reduced misdiagnosis as key AI advantages.
- Undergraduate students showed greater concern about AI's impact on patient empathy compared to specialty students.
- Both groups strongly supported AI inclusion in dental curricula and acknowledged its essential role in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Conclusions
- AI should complement, not substitute, dental professionals, emphasizing cautious integration in healthcare.
- Prioritizing patient privacy and data security is crucial when implementing AI in dentistry.
- Further research with diverse samples is recommended for a comprehensive understanding of AI attitudes in dentistry.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...
