Description
Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. AI has been making waves in various fields, and dentistry is no exception. In recent years, AI has been increasingly used in periodontology and implant dentistry to improve patient outcomes and streamline dental procedures.
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the role, application and uses of AI in periodontology among dental professionals.
Methodology: The present study is a descriptive cross-sectional online survey that was carried out among dental professionals in Maharashtra. A self-structured, close-ended questionnaire that was administered that consisted of 17 questions was included. The questions were circulated through Google Forms (Google LLC, Mountain View, California, United States), and it was circulated among the study participants through online mode. The data were collected systematically, and SPSS Statistics was used for data analysis.
Results: 250 dental professionals participated in the study through Google Forms. Among these, 70% were females and 30% were males. 53% agreed that AI can assess percentage of bone loss and staging and grading of periodontitis more accurately.62% agreed that AI can aid to create personalized Periodontics.
Conclusion: The present study showed that the dental professionals are very much aware of AI future in periodontics. Most participants emphasized that the basic working principles of A.I. such as data science and logical statistics, should be taught in dentistry as a part of the curriculum or as value-added courses during their clinical training.
