description Background: Deep learning systems, one of the methods used by artificial intelligence for various clinical tasks, have been used in recent years. The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes and perceptions of dental students toward artificial intelligence and to provide information about their views on the use of artificial intelligence in dentistry. Methods: The survey was sent to 72 participants from the universe of dental students and was conducted face-to-face. Results: The majority of participants, 43 (61%), said they had a basic knowledge of artificial intelligence, while 54 students (75%) said they were aware that artificial intelligence applications were being used in dentistry. 29 (40%) of the participants thought that the use of artificial intelligence in dentistry and medicine would lead to bad practices. 65 (90%) of respondents thought that the use of AI in dentistry and medicine would increase their personal professional success. Conclusion:The results reflect a general acceptance of AI in dentistry among respondents. The implementation of educational workshops on AI in dentistry should be supported, and the possibility of including AI education in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula should be considered.
