Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in dentistry special in fixed prosthodontics is developing at a rapid speed. As a result, it's difficult for people to decide that they completely recognize it. Aim: to assess dental students', interns', and dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of AI in fixed prosthodontics in Saudi Arabia. Material and methods: An online-based questionnaire will be given to dental students, interns, and dentists in Saudi Arabia for a cross-sectional study. Google Forms was used to create the questionnaire for this research. Results: 65.6% participants acquainted with the notion of AI and its applications in fixed prosthodontics. 71% agree that AI has valuable applications in the area of fixed prosthodontics. 40.3% possess any insights about the use of AI in fixed prosthodontics. 91.4% interested in using a software or program that can assist in the planning of fixed prosthodontic treatments. 21.3% concur that the planning capacity of AI surpasses the clinical expertise of a professional in fixed prosthodontics76.9% advise other practitioners to include AI into their clinical practice. 85.5% concur that AI will assist in assessing intricate aspects of fixed prosthodontic treatment planning that are sometimes overlooked by practitioners. 65.2% agree that AI might be used in future fixed prosthodontic treatment planning. 76% believe that AI has a prospective role in the field of dentistry in Saudi Arabia. Conclusion: dental students, interns, and dentists in Saudi Arabia possess a high level of knowledge, positive attitudes, and accurate views on the use of AI in fixed prosthodontics.
