Arka Plan: Yapay zeka (AI), Diş Hekimliğindeki uzmanlıkların çoğuna girmiştir.
tanı, radyografi ve eğitime dahil edilmiştir. Amaç: Bilgiyi değerlendirmek
ve Sudan'da diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin diş hekimliği alanında yapay zeka kullanımına yönelik algıları
2024. Yöntemler: Bu kesitsel çalışma Karary'deki diş hekimliği öğrencilerine odaklanmaktadır.
Üniversite, Omdurman, Sudan. Veriler çevrimiçi anketler aracılığıyla toplanmış ve
SPSS yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edildi. Sonuç: Katılan 100 dişhekimliği öğrencisinden
Araştırmaya katılanların %84'ü kadın, %16'sı erkek olup %48'i öğrenimlerinin 5. yılındadır. A
Toplam %59'u yapay zeka eğitimine katılmıştı; %35'i bilgilerini bireysel çalışma yoluyla, %23'ü ise üniversite eğitimi yoluyla edinmişti. Ortalama yapay zeka bilgi puanı şuydu:
79,2±13,26, öğrencilerin %72'si iyi bilgi sergiliyor. Ortalama
algı puanı 71±12,7 olup, %45'i olumlu algıya sahip, %50'si ise adil algıya sahiptir.
Yapay zeka algıları. Bilgi veya bilgi açısından cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı bir farklılık yoktu.
algı puanları Ancak yapay zeka eğitimi alan öğrenciler önemli ölçüde
Yapay zekanın daha iyi algılanması. Genel olarak, daha yüksek yapay zeka arasında pozitif bir korelasyon bulundu.
Diş hekimliğindeki uygulamalarına ilişkin bilgi ve daha olumlu algılar.
Sonuç: Diş hekimliği öğrencileri, algılarına rağmen güçlü bir yapay zeka bilgisi göstermektedir.
daha çeşitlidir. Yapay zeka bilgisi çalışmanın ilerlemesiyle birlikte gelişir ve hedeflenir
eğitim girişimleri olumlu algıları daha da artırabilir. Önemli ölçüde eğitim
tutumları etkilemekte ve yapay zekanın diş hekimliği müfredatına entegre edilmesi ihtiyacını vurgulamaktadır.
Bilgi ve algı arasındaki pozitif korelasyon, anlama arttıkça
Derinleştikçe yapay zekanın diş hekimliğinde kabulü muhtemelen artacaktır.

Knowledge and Perceptions of Dental Students Towards the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: A Study from Sudan, 2024
Abstract :
Background : Artificial intelligence (AI) has entered most of specialties in Dentistry, it
has been included in diagnosis, radiography & education. Aim: Assess the knowledge
and perceptions of dental students towards use of AI in the field of dentistry in Sudan
2024. Methods: This cross-sectional study focuses on dental students at Karary
University, Omdurman, Sudan. Data were collected via online questionnaires and
analyzed using SPSS software. Result: Of the 100 dental students who participated in
the study, 84% were female and 16% male, with 48% being in their 5th year of study. A
total of 59% had attended AI training, with 35% acquiring their knowledge through selfstudy and 23% through university education. The average AI knowledge score was
79.2±13.26, with 72% of students demonstrating good knowledge. The average
perception score was 71±12.7, with 45% holding positive perceptions and 50% fair
perceptions of AI. There were no significant gender differences in knowledge or
perception scores. However, students who had received AI training had significantly
better perceptions of AI. Overall, a positive correlation was found between higher AI
knowledge and more favorable perceptions of its applications in dentistry.
Conclusion: Dental students demonstrate strong knowledge of AI, though perceptions
are more varied. AI knowledge improves with study progression, and targeted
educational initiatives could further enhance positive perceptions. Training significantly
influences attitudes, emphasizing the need to integrate AI into dental curricula. The
positive correlation between knowledge and perception suggests that as understanding
deepens, acceptance of AI in dentistry is likely to grow.
