A recent study has shown that 35% of dentists have implemented artificial intelligence (AI) in their dental practices, with 77% reporting positive results from its use. The study, conducted by Dentaly.org in July 2023, surveyed 1265 licensed dentists and patients to explore the potential benefits and risks of AI in dentistry.

One of the key findings from the study was that 62% of surveyed dentists agreed that certain operational tasks in dental clinics could be performed by AI. Additionally, 55% believed that advancements in AI could lead to potential layoffs in the dental care industry within the next five years.

For patients, the biggest concern about integrating AI into dentistry was the lack of human interaction during treatment, with 72% of patients expressing this fear. In contrast, only 10% of surveyed patients said they would be willing to pay more for AI-based dental care or diagnosis.

Dentists who have incorporated AI into their practices highlighted several benefits of the technology. The top-ranking benefits cited were faster and more efficient workflows (76%), predictive analytics for patient outcomes (48%), improved accuracy in diagnosis (40%), enhanced treatment planning (35%), and personalized treatment options (20%).

When asked about the likelihood of adopting additional AI technologies in their practices, the majority of dentists expressed openness to the idea. 47% stated that they were somewhat likely to adopt these technologies in the future, while only 14% indicated that they were somewhat unlikely to do so. None of the respondents considered it very unlikely to adopt AI technologies.

Overall, the findings of the study suggest a positive outlook for the integration of AI technologies in the dental field in the near future.
