    TLDR Many dental professionals are aware of AI but need more education and support to use it effectively.
    The study surveyed 303 dental clinicians and oral/maxillofacial surgeons to assess their use, knowledge, and attitudes towards AI in clinical practice. Results showed limited AI usage, with 42.6% not using it in daily practice, though radiographic interpretation was a common application. A significant association was found between specialty and AI usage, and between experience and AI knowledge, but not with age or work area. The study highlights a growing awareness and cautious optimism about AI among younger and early-career Pakistani dental professionals, emphasizing the need for targeted education and infrastructure to support AI integration in dentistry.
