Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into dentistry for diagnosis and patient education. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-assisted community education on implant awareness. Hence, 225 adult participants were allocated into AI-assisted education group and a conventional education group. Outcomes of study were assessed using a validated questionnaire measuring knowledge and awareness. Thus, data shows that AI-assisted community education significantly enhances implant awareness, knowledge and acceptance.
