Hypothesis
What are the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Egyptian dental students toward artificial intelligence?
Conclusion
Egyptian dental students are familiar with AI and its potential applications in dentistry, and they support the need for more AI training in dental education.
Supporting Evidence
- 49% of students had a basic knowledge of AI principles.
- 48% were aware of AI usage in dentistry.
- 53% agreed on AI's leading role in advancing dentistry.
- 44% disagreed that AI could replace dentists in the future.
- 49% approved incorporating AI applications in undergraduate training.
Takeaway
This study found that many dental students in Egypt know about AI and think it can help in dentistry, but they want to learn more about it in school.
Methodology
An online survey was conducted using a questionnaire sent to dental students via Google Forms.
Potential Biases
Selection bias was minimized by encouraging all dental students at participating schools to complete the survey anonymously.
Limitations
The study participants were recruited from only two universities, which may not represent all dental students in Egypt.
Participant Demographics
Participants included 384 dental students, with 42% male and 58% female, primarily from Cairo University and the Egyptian Russian University.
