Awareness and Application of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Prosthodontic Treatment Planning Among Dental Students and Practitioners in Saudi Arabia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly utilized in dentistry to enhance diagnostic accuracy and
treatment planning. In prosthodontics, AI tools have shown considerable potential in improving precision and efficiency;
however, their awareness and clinical adoption among dental students and practitioners in Saudi Arabia remain
limited. Objectives: This study aims to assess the awareness, knowledge, and application of AI tools in prosthodontic
treatment planning among dental students and practitioners in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey
was conducted between July and December 2025 using a self-administered online questionnaire distributed through
university channels and professional dental platforms. Participants included clinical dental students, interns, general
dentists, and prosthodontic specialists actively practicing in Saudi Arabia. Preclinical students and non-prosthodontic
practitioners were excluded. A minimum sample size of 384 was calculated, with a target of 422 to compensate for non
response.
