Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming pediatric dentistry by improving diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning and patient care. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the knowledge, awareness and attitudes of pediatric dental professionals in India toward AI integration. While the majority recognized the benefits of AI, significant knowledge gaps and barriers such as cost, ethical concerns and lack of training were identified. A statistically significant association was found between awareness levels and years of experience as well as practice settings. These findings underscore the need for structured educational programs to support AI adoption in pediatric dentistry.
